FLYING TOWARD THE LIGHTED AREA, HE ARRIVED AT THE TULSA AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT RADIO WAS TUNED TO OKC APPROACH CONTROL SO HE HAD NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE TULSA AIRPORT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
