The FAA reassigns tail numbers over time, so a tail’s history can span more than one physical aircraft. The accident and service-difficulty records below are matched by registration number (N-number), and each accident shows its own make, model, and serial — check those against this aircraft to spot any event that belongs to an unrelated airframe.
