N8164V was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna A188 (serial 188-0414, cancelled May 6, 1977). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [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]
