The public federal record on N6353T, 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 Balloon Quest INC, a corporation, certificate issued October 18, 2001, expires October 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated June 21, 1991, consistent with the 1991 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial S66A-3046 for this model in the deregistered file. [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]
