Was this Champion 7EC ever wrecked under a different tail number?

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.
