EVENTUALLY A FIGHTER ESCORT WAS ASSIGNED TO THE FLIGHT. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ DID CONTACT KANSAS CITY RADAR APPROACH CONTROL ENTERING THE KANSAS CITY AREA FOR ADVISORS AND VECTORS TO THE AIRPORT AT MOSBY, MO.

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.
