MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH
If you look at the website flightaware.com and search a tail number N5343M you will see that the n umber belongs to a SR 20 that at one time was registered to Stephen C. Paddock of Mesquite, TX and Henderson, NV. Our shooter. You will see that it is currently registered to a company out of Roanoke, VA named Volant LLC. This company works with the "Defense/Intelligence" community per their website.

It gets better. The registration is listed as active, but the last flight for the aircraft was 3 years ago. They only show the flight when a flight plan is filed. Flightaware pulls their data directly from the FAA registration database, so it should be accurate correct? Now the interesting part, if you go to faa.gov and put the same tail number into their search engine N5343M, you will find that the FAA says the n-number is inactive, and the last registration was a C152 (different aircraft) to some guy in San Diego, CA. And no mention of the current registration by Volant LLC or Mr. Paddock. The FAA database is updated every business day at midnight. So, it looks like someone either scrubbed the FAA database and forgot or didn't know that flightaware posted the same info.
We now have a connection between Stephen C Paddock and a spook outfit. Interesting.

The FAA's database only shows N5343M as a Cessna 152 deregistered in 2001. Cirrus used the N- number on a new SR20 in 2004, but the FAA doesn't seem to know it. That's the "curious" part. registry.faa.gov
