This mishap is local to me and I'm interested to see the discussion here. Officially, y'all know as much as we do...
I heard today that the tail number of the aircraft is N7700Y.
AviationDB.com:
AviationDB - Aviation Database - N7700Y
FAA Registry:
FAA Registry - Aircraft - N-Number Inquiry
This N-number was deregistered at the time of the crash. A friend of mine put the number into a "flight tracker database" online (I disremember which one) and it suggested that the last flightplan was March 2012 from central Florida (Orlando??) to Jasper, Alabama and presumably the aircraft has been inactive since then. I speculate that the aircraft was purchased in Florida and flown up to Jasper where it was stored at Walker County Airport (AKA Bevill Field).
I did a quick look atthe NTSB database on this N-number for this accident and came up with nothing. It may be too early, or I may have been looking at the wrong thing (not a pilot, just "interested SLF"
).
