Been going through FAA records today to track the history of a Cirrus SR-20 once owned by the LV shooter.
Turns out the aircraft was sold to a person in Virginia, and that person then sold the aircraft to a Virginia LLc.
What makes the story interesting to us is that when the plane was sold, up through initial ownership by the Virginia LLc, it carried one tail number – which was reported by FlightAware, but which is now pointing to a deregistered Cessna 152.
Turns out, the Cirrus SR-20 is still flying and has been using its new tail number.
I’m not sure why the SR-20 tail number was changed – but people often change them to reflect things like their initials, for example.
For now, it looks like we’ve come to a dead end in this chase. But we still find it curious all the data coming out about the [alleged] shooter’s “second life.”
And we wish law enforcement good luck running down leads…as this experience points out, it can be a tedious process.
More tomorrow….
Such an excellent gambler, went for the video game (probably would have been banned for being a ‘counter’ at the tables)…

“cheap ticket” Even the sisters are parroting that. It’s everywhere. The girlfriend and her family, sound like liars.
Don’t’cha know, retired millionaires always shop around or wait, until they can buy cheap tickets…
