If the "N" number has not been allocated to another plane, then it could be assumed again.
What has happened is that the registration was not renewed for a long time, or the owner moved and did not tell the FAA the new address. Once moved and the FAA sends a post card to them at that old address, when its not recieved at OKC again in a reasonable amount of time they "de-register" the aircraft and "N" number. Many times you can get it back but something needs to be done and now.
