The public federal record on N742MA, 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 8, 1992, 10 years after the 1982 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 1005 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N742MA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Boeing 737-83N (serial 30675, cancelled August 6, 2012). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
