* Aircraft is a 1978 Cessna 207A, Registration number N207BD, Serial number 20700425.
*Aircraft is reported to be blue and white with a gold stripe
15 November 2006: At approximately 2:50 p.m. on November 2, 2006, three individuals representing to be two watchmen of Echo Services and the pilot of the aircraft, approached the airport security guards. When the three individuals were allowed clearance to the airport facilities, they burst in, aiming a weapon at the people who were there and reportedly taking hostage the security guards. One of the suspects approached the individual who was preflighting the aircraft to fly to San Jose and/or Cabo, South Baja California. The suspect took the keys of the aircraft from the insured, loaded the two other suspects in the aircraft, and immediately departed the airport in the aircraft with their course unknown.

Country:  | Wow, the FAA should be able to track this though. I am sure they were seen on some kind of Radar at some point unless they were NOE or something.

Country:  | this was obviously heavily planned, this can't just have been about the aircraft, had they just stolen things?

Country: | I would guess the illicit drug running is part of it.
