The public federal record on N7201A, 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.

Standard certificate for normal, dated August 23, 1956, consistent with the 1956 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 29301 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N7201A according to 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]
