The public federal record on N808NA, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 424 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N808NA was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Raytheon Aircraft Company HAWKER 800XP (serial 258664, cancelled June 26, 2014); Piper PA-30 (serial 30-1498, cancelled February 5, 2002). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
