The free registries search by current tail number — so a Luscombe 8A that was wrecked, rebuilt, and re-registered under a new N-number shows clean on every one of them. The accident stays filed under the tail the airframe wore at the time. The $79 report cross-matches by manufacturer serial number to surface that hidden history — plus every registrant on record, registration expiry, recent FAA filings (the lien signal), and the full NTSB narrative for each event. Delivered instantly, no account, no ads.
