The public federal record on N8804B, 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 January 29, 2008, 47 years after the 1961 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N8804B was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172 (serial 36504, cancelled June 10, 1975). 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]
