The public federal record on N52984, 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

N52984 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Consolidated Vultee BT-13 (serial 241, cancelled November 20, 2017). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
