N243EL and N234EL disagree in the record of an aircraft reported near Wyandotte, Michigan, on August 26, 2026. The aircraft database lists N243EL as a Piaggio P.180 Avanti, while the site's check of the transmitted address A217CB yields N234EL.

That leaves the aircraft's identity uncertain: the listed registration and type may not describe the aircraft that flew. The Avanti is a fixed wing aircraft with two turboprop engines, but that description depends on the disputed database identity. The cause of the mismatch is unknown.
