If you look at the website flightaware.com and search a tail number N5343M you will see that the number 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 three years ago. They only show the flight when a flight plan is filed. Flight Aware then pulls their data directly from the FAA registration database, so it should be current.
Now the interesting part. If you go to faa.gov and put in the same tail number it'll tell you the number is inactive, and the last registration was a C152 (different plane) to some guy in San Diego. No mention of Paddock or Volant LLC.
Perhaps he just sold them the plane and that's the only connection?

Yup! Just wait, this story will get better with age!
“Occam’s Razor”: The simplest explanation is the most likely.
The perpetrator was smarter, wealthier and born at a great time / place to utilize his skills.
However, he had no love in his life, no descendants, no religion. It was an empty life.
As he aged, he became aware of physical decline and that his best days were over.
He also thought he could beat the house: the corporations that run gambling in Nevada. Hubris does this. After all, he’s rich when many others are struggling. Why not prove it by taking money from MGM, Caesar’s, Wynn etc.
When this failed, and his cash runs out, take it out on MGM in a blaze of violence.
This event will cost the industry a billion dollars by the time it is over. MGM will be blamed. The whole industry must insure and protect. Visitors will shun for a while.
He beat the house, and died trying.
Simple.
Above is the SR 20
Yeah I sold a car to some dipstick once too /s
Saw that posted earlier on /pol/. Very interesting.
No, he sold a plane that ended up being owned by a company that has business dealings with the government.
If I sold a car to someone that then later was arrested for selling drugs, does that mean I have “drug dealer connections?”
No, it means I sold a car that was later owned by a drug dealer.
More conspiracy lunacy.
But Schtupid....
Well, there ya go... he was a bowler so it’s obvious that he was a FBI gun runner selling nukes to ISIS to give to North Korea to...
Does it ever end?
I think that points preciptously toward the truth. Also, his girlfriend factors in there somewhere. She dumped him (probably because she saw the rapid downward slope of his trajectory) and that was the trigger that fast-tracked his activities.
For 600 casualties, 60 dead? Way low.
$10B easy.
He worked as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, an IRS agent and in an auditing department over a 10-year period.
A spokeswoman for the Office of Personnel Management told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Stephen Paddock’s employment included about two years as a mail carrier from 1976 to 1978.
After that, he worked as an agent for the Internal Revenue Service for six years until 1984.
And then he worked a defense auditing job for about 18 months.
When did he become rich enough to buy $300,000 planes and a couple million in real estate? From what source? Playing slots???
OMG! Iggy Pops Soldier album was released in 1980!
