If anyone wants to be real crazy, there is only one FBO at SWO/Stillwater.
Call them and say you are arranging ground transportation for N111UT and wanted to see if the cars had made it to the FBO yet..

Thanks for your insight! Gundy to the Hill!!Nope. But the plane that was being referenced all day has been parked for some time in a maintenance hanger due for an engine upgrade. According to the reporter, it is out of service.
After reading a little more, there was an aircraft registration copy posted that said it had been sold to some guy named Stevens.
I didn't hold a piece of paper, and didn't go over to McGhee-Tyson to verify, but like everything flying around the past 36 hours, the airplane reporting stuff, including my own 2 cents worth, is probably worth exactly what you are paying to read about it here.
But, you gotta admit, it's kept us hopping today, hasn't it. Man, I hope we get Gundy!
I get that. So there is absolutely no way that someone who wasn't the owner of the plane could file the flight plan under that tail number and then get it blocked on Flight Aware? How does Flight Aware confirm if you own the plane?
Ya it's really confusing. Same aircraft for sure. N1794 has flown as recently as a week ago I believe. People are claiming that N111UT has been in maintenance for months and even sold to someone. Fairly certain that neither tail number is in the air per ADS-B. I do not believe it ever took off.No idea as to how FlightAware verifies ownership. What I think happened is that someone at UT forgot to add the tail number to their blocking service. N1794 was, but not N111UT, even though they're the same aircraft.
