The aircraft was reported near Essexville, Michigan. Its recorded address disagrees with the registration in the aircraft database.

Learjet 40 N26CW: observed 5 Jul 2026.
Aircraft identity from the selected record. Type and registration are database matches; historical assignments may differ.

An aircraft reported near Essexville, Michigan, on July 5, 2026, carried conflicting identity information. The aircraft database lists it as Learjet 40 N26CW, but the recorded address, A291D7, corresponds to N265CW in the identity check. Those registrations differ by a single digit.

The disagreement leaves the aircraft's identity unresolved: the listed registration and type may not describe the aircraft observed. A database error, a re-registration or an avionics setting could explain the mismatch, but the data does not establish which caused it.
