The public federal record on N916TS, 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.

N916TS was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Boeing 727-254 (serial 20437, cancelled March 21, 2017). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
