Earl, dont have to be a prophet to predict that after a few good paying Hajj flights this season will dump the plane somewhere, probably crew also, and the party who will have to carry the cost/loss is going to be the Bank of Utah.

The alleged situation and condition of this aircraft raises serious concerns, irregularities, and probably in conflict with criminal let alone aviation law:

1. Sure Bank of Utah would not have financed if they were aware that the machine was going to be operated outside manufacturers and international aviation laws and requirements. Improbable that the specific bank would have financed an aircraft if it is not going to be operated on the N register in compliance FAA requirements, let alone some dodgy registry of convenience.

2. Does it carry bona fide insurance policies and coverage. No insurance company in the world will insure an expired aircraft that is going to be paraded and operated as an airworthy machine, due to increased risk - in all probability if misled in the process any possible claim will be declined. Effectively it then has no legitimate insurance.

3. Every declaration and application for clearances and overflight permissions are done fraudulently as paperwork is "cooked" and not in order.

Earl, if you should encounter her, advise reg and even post photo. Can imagine that some folks in Nigeria will be very interested.
