The public federal record on N8985B, 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.

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated September 23, 2021, consistent with the 2021 manufacture year. [1]

N8985B was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172 (serial 36685, cancelled July 17, 1958). 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]
