Under the heading of Truly Weird

I understand that but they did it fast enough to get the police to the house
before the father arrived there with the son. So while they might well have
gotten the address of the owners home from people at the airport I doubt the
N-number had anything to do with it.

You never heard the old saying, "You can outrun a Ford but you can't
outrun a Motorola?" This ain't rocket science.

It would take a matter of seconds to call in the N-number, look it up on
the FAA or other websites, and dispatch a car in the area to the residence.

Anyway, since the Doc was bringing the trophy home to the folks, he
probably stopped first at the local car-wash to hose it off.

And, if you might understandably refuse to be flippant about such a
tragedy, that's understandable -- but at least keep in mind that people
often do some very weird stuff when they are in shock.

Witnesses got the license number of the pickup the father and son used to
transport him home, the Casa Grande police did a registration check and
notified the local (Paradise Valley) police who met them there.

Case Grande police got the identifying N-number off the plane tail and
located a Paradise Valley address.

Walker said that the victim had neither a pilot's license nor a valid
student pilot's certificate and that the plane, a 1961 Nord owned by
the Lundells, was not registered.



If the aircraft wasn't registered how did they tie it to a Paradise Valley
address?

Not registered in AZ. Despite the opinion of local authorities, AZ is
not the world.
