Critical Thinking is alive!

I used to do aircraft repos-ferrys-storage for the U.S. Marshals as a sub to Dyncorp. Some nice aircraft, but a lot that had already been sitting for long periods, neglected and picked apart. Did that 74 actually make it to the U.S. ??

I wonder if some other agency is thinking “Nice work guys, Now WTH are we gonna do with it?”

Cheaper to just Sawzall the tail off and leave it where they found it.

At the end of the first paragraph of the story, "...it’s now in Florida."

I did read that however flightaware does not reflect that. I know it's not always accurate. It would be highly unusual to get that aircraft ready to fly in that short of time.

In the second paragraph of the story, "It took 18 months working with Argentinian authorities to get the airplane out of Argentina."

I verified it is at KTNT

I followed this story from day 1. I saw it parked in Argentina shortly after it was seized
