The public federal record on N70580, 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 June 15, 1956, 10 years after the 1946 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 17589 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N70580 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172L (serial 17260358, cancelled May 17, 1974). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
