Does anyone remember that 727 jetliner that disappeared? Well...

Doesn't anyone else think that there is a possibility that it will resurface on September 11, whether in the USA or elsewhere?

According to the FBI, it had been outfitted to carry diesel. Hence if it does appear... it will probably be loaded with fuel or explosives. Looks like bad news for someone. Or am I jumping the gun?

On May 25, 2003, at approximately 6 p.m. local time, an airplane took off from DeFevereiro International Airport in Luanda, Angola, with neither clearance nor a flight plan, and has not been seen since. The plane is described as a 200 series advanced 727 jet with a tail number of N844AA, and a serial number of 20985. It is unpainted silver in color with a stripe of blue, white, and blue. The plane was formerly in the air fleet of a major airline, but all of the passenger seats have been removed. It is outfitted to carry diesel fuel.

Law enforcement officials believe that Ben Charles Padilla may have been on board the plane at the time it disappeared. The FBI is interested in locating Padilla, as he may have information as to the whereabouts of the plane.
