The public federal record on N72866, 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

N72866 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 140 (serial 10057, cancelled December 4, 1957). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
