No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 2986 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N522MA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-2B-26 (serial 337, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
