The public federal record on N5265E, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N5265E was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180B (serial 50565, cancelled July 15, 1959). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
