Whatever tells Flohr about the market is out of the post. He already has their own problems.

Some of us know the problems of Nigeria and the region surroundings, better not to get close. Oil? sure but not the only reason: gold, diamonds, drugs, slavery, guns...

Last week someone told me a story about a Global who had to be changed the whole overwing fuselage part because they were transporting hughe amounts of gold and the fuselage bent.

Until full investigation takes place, which may be a long time, we will not know for sure the reason of this flight but I bet my balls that on Venezuela they new it quite well. I have not been in a so corrupted country in my life and I´ve been in quite a lot.

Tidbits

Hello Everyone, my first post to address questions and issues regarding bust. will be making assertions without backing them up. not here to convince anyone. I'm interested in facts and thoughts about this case.

The load belongs to the Venezuelan gov. Goes to the top. Nothing said can be believed.

There where caught and they don't know how. The massive cover up is sloppy.

The seats removed proves premeditation and complicity.

Another unnamed country provided tipoff

What was the final destination? Russia, Syria or Iran

A court in the central Venezuelan state of Carabobo ordered 18 people jailed provisionally, including nine Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) agents and a member of the Sebin intelligence service, in the case of a drug-running aircraft that was nabbed in Spain.


The federal Attorney General's Office said in a communique on Saturday that 18 people remain in jail of the 24 detained after the unauthorized takeoff last weekend of a private plane, which was subsequently impounded on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria along with the 1,588 kilos (1 3/4 tons) of very pure cocaine it was carrying.
Venezuelan Interior Minister Tareck el Aissami said that the plane took off in the wee hours of Aug. 13 from Arturo Michelena International Airport in the central city of Valencia without authorization and with the runway lights turned off, and that Venezuelan authorities quickly notified Interpol and several European countries including Spain.


The AG's office said that those implicated are accused of drug trafficking and illicit association, and that among those in custody, besides the Bolivarian National Guard agents, are an air traffic controller, two officials of Civil Aviation, or INAC, an airport guard and four people associated with a naval services company.


Also accused, but only required to report in periodically, are airport President Freddy Rodriguez, General Manager Jaime Palacios, and the director of airport operations, Anibal Jose Rojas, all suspected accomplices of a drug trafficking operation.


Also accused under those conditions are another two National Guard agents.
Venezuelan authorities said during the week that the aircraft, a Bombardier BD-7000 with the Maltese registration 9HFED, had landed in Venezuela last Saturday night on a flight from Trinidad and Tobago, though its flight plan said it came from Grenada.


The flight plan also indicated that the plane was scheduled to fly the next day to Brazil, but instead took off Sunday at 2:26 a.m. local time (0700 GMT) with the airport closed, and was headed east at the time Interpol was notified.


The head of the Spanish police, Ignacio Cosido, said Wednesday that the seizure of 1 3/4 tons of cocaine from the aircraft on Gran Canaria would mean "a powerful blow" to drug trafficking rings operating in Venezuela. EFE

Randomly stumbled across this story update;

A Charter Pilot Becomes an Unwilling Mule for 1.5 Tons of Cocaine - SPIEGEL ONLINE

'Karl Lückert* can only smile wryly at the massive security effort. He once landed in Valencia as the pilot of a private jet of the kind often booked by CEOs, stars and the wealthy. In August 2012, he touched down at Arturo Michelena for what he thought would be a routine, and brief, stopover. But things turned out differently. So differently that, in subsequent days, he found himself confronted with the choice between losing his life or acting as a drug courier. Indeed, as a consequence of that layover, he was forced to burn all bridges to the life he had led to that point and take on a new identity. Now, over two years later, the man who forced Lückert into the drug trade may soon be facing trafficking charges in a US court.'

Looking at the striping and the times and landings, I'm guessing it is MSN 9234.

Well, what about all those in this thread that enjoyed accusing a throwing **** at the crew in this thread?

I, for one, I hope I will never find myself in a similar situation to this crew.
