650 Bombardier Global-family jets are currently on the FAA registry -- Bombardier's large-cabin, ultra-long-range flagship line, spanning the original Global Express through the Global 5000, 6000 and 7500, several of which have shared and amended type certificates as Bombardier updated the design over two decades.
Why ownership history is easy to lose track of on this fleet
A Global sale typically runs into eight figures and already comes with a formal pre-buy inspection and title search -- against that scale, a $79 history check is a rounding error, not a cost decision. Many Globals have passed through corporate flight departments, charter operators and fractional programs, and the FAA can reissue a cancelled N-number to a different airframe after five years (14 CFR 47.15/47.17). A search of only the current tail number can miss an accident recorded under a prior registration -- or wrongly attach another jet's accident to the one you're buying. A serial-number cross-match is the only way to know which history actually belongs to the airframe in front of you.
What a $79 report adds
Current FAA registration status, prior registrants, recent FAA filings (bills of sale, security agreements/liens -- the same paper trail a title company will also pull), full NTSB accident and incident history, and the serial-number cross-match that catches an accident hiding under a prior tail number.
