N52801 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Schweizer TG3A (serial 94, cancelled June 22, 1976). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
