N9073A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 170A (serial 18832, cancelled February 25, 1957). 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]
