The public federal record on N9743B, 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

N9743B was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180A (serial 50041, cancelled November 18, 1957). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
