The public federal record on N946CF, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N946CF was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech 200 (serial BB540, cancelled June 7, 2001). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
