Is there anyplace on the web where one can find the N numbers of
commercial airliners that have crashed over the past several years? I
have looked over the FAA site but either I don't know where to look or
it isn't there.

That would be difficult.


Also, does the FAA reissue N numbers for aircraft that have crashed or
are those numbers retired?


Yes -- a number that existed on, say, a Swift in 1950 may now reside on
a B747.
