The public federal record on N6526R, 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

N6526R was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Boeing-Vertol 219 CH47C (serial D017, cancelled December 16, 1974). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
