This question is sparked by the NTSB reports on the two Maules that got bent in Kansas. Just browsing the forum mail and read the unfortunate crash report, and noticed the first wrecked:
1984yr N56552 M5-180C Serial # 8080C is exactly the SAME serial number!
as our M5!!
1985yr N5663D M5-180C Serial #8080C
Anybody run into this before? on any brand of aircraft?

Pondering while munching Post Toasties.

Answered the question!
FAA registry for says 8050C serial
