The public federal record on N68396, 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.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 30, 1981, 26 years after the 1955 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
