johnaustin,
I have access to probably the most complete aircraft databases in the world and unless they reregistered one of the denied aircraft the same day so as to maybe slip by and the databases have not updated yet or they were maybe going to pull the registration after the flight there is no aircraft registered anywhere as 3D-FAK. Now maybe somebody got the registration wrong in the articles, but with so many saying 3D-FAK I find that hard to believe.
Somebody needs a severe beating because I smell a rat.
