Is it possible for a person to go undetected when wanted by the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, and the General Staff of the US Armed Forces, after several years of detailed search, with the engagement of all available means at the disposal of the most massive and technically most equipped military-intelligence machinery?!
Maybe it is, and maybe not.
And is it possible for a person to hide - not alone, but in the company of a Boeing B-727 passenger plane in all its size & glory, in case the above-mentioned organizations are looking for him?
Quite possible!
That was done by a certain Ben Padilla, an American pilot, together with mechanic John Mutantu from Congo-Kinshasa. Mutantu has to one of most amusing surnames ever. Anyway...
In May 2003, from the runway of the international airport in Luanda, Angola, the two characters boarded a veteran B-727 that was without any markings on it, turned off all the signals (lights, transponders) and despite the shocked air traffic controllers who did not give them permission to take off - they took off. And of course - from the moment of takeoff to this day - their fate and that of the plane remain unknown.
In the midst of the panic over the events of 9/11, the American authorities spared no resources to find the plane and the thieves. In vain, after two and a half years of extensive search and several possible scenarios that turned out to be incorrect - they gave up the search. Considering today's technology, it is strange how such a plane could disappear without a trace. No one anywhere saw or reported a crash or landing, nor did the plane fly over any territory.
All that remained were speculations, rumors, theories, and assumptions - from insurance fraud, to secret sale of the plane, to a crash into a parallel dimension, to alien abduction. But even if it was about insurance or sale, at some point, somewhere, some trace, anything, would have come to light. To this day, there has been absolutely nothing...
