The public federal record on N98021, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-26001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N98021 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J3C-65 (serial 18164, cancelled August 13, 1963). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N98021. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
