The public federal record on N5673N, 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.
Valid registration to Hannibal Robert A, an individual, certificate issued April 18, 1983, expires June 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated October 9, 1978, consistent with the 1978 manufacture year. [1]

N5673N was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Curtiss Wright P-40 (serial A-987, cancelled July 10, 1972). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N5673N. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
