The public federal record on N72468, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N72468 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 140 (serial 9633, cancelled November 14, 1969). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
