Sometimes when people get backed into (or by their own action get into) beuracratic corners they do crazy things , I heard a rumor that this 'run for the border' was an desperate attempt at resolving some expensive 'issues' arising from the sale of the aircraft , hence no flight plan

It's no justification for what happened but things can drag on for years here when both sides dig their heels in
