Corrected entry: When Howard frees Phil from the police car and they run away, it is night. They then discover the ultralight aircraft, however it is daytime before they make an escape. Wouldn't the police have noticed he was missing by then, and considering the yard where the aircraft was stored is next-door, wouldn't they have been discovered long before escaping?

Correction: Phil tells Howard that it'll be dawn soon, so it's not as if several hours has passed. Second, when one of the cop cars pulls up, one cop says "they just spotted the duck and the kid", so they did notice Phil was missing by then and were looking for him (they were looking for both, but didn't know they'd be together). Third, earlier it was mentioned that Howard was armed and dangerous, so if one of the cops spotted him, he would certainly call for backup. So they were spotted before escaping, but not apprehended without backup. But even though they were so close doesn't mean they'd be found quicker than expected, especially if they hid when they saw cops approaching.
