I was commisioned to fly to Altrenheim and repossess a Citation jet. The aircraft was on lease from the owner and based there.
Payments were not being made and the owner wanted his jet back. Just before Christmas we attempted to fly the aircraft out for the owner but were stopped.
The owner then spent months in the courts before he successfully got his aircraft back. We were within ten minutes of making it until my co pilot let the cat out of the bag and stuffed us.
Result train and plain back to the UK on Christmas eve which was hell and me and the co not talking
Still wondered whether we would have got into trouble on landing for a refuel stop in Zurich with this snatch even though it belonged to our guy? We didnt want to fuel in Altrenheim. It did feel like stealing it
