The public federal record on N48070, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N48070 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Fairchild PT-23 (serial 5293AE, cancelled November 25, 1955). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N48070. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
