Shortly after arriving in Luanda, we were installing the HF and doing other maintenance on the aircraft and,each and every time we had to cross the ramp to get to the airplane we were never allowed to just walk. We were required to produce ID and Pay to have a Rampy drive us to the A/C.I beleive the cost of each trip to the airplane was around $20 US. The same to return to the terminal, we had to wait for a ride. This sometimes took as long as an hour or more just to get to the airplane after arriving at the terminal. My point is this... If Padilla had gotten to the airplane to steal it someone at the airport had to check ID,drive him to the aircraft, etc. etc. This process also included several airport personal, not just one person. I would think a $20,000.00 reward could find one of these persons who allowed or took Ben Padilla to the aircraft that day if indeed it was him.
