Photo Comment

Ex. N302GA, N522SB, N339A, N684AT, N774AK. In February 2018 it was pictured in similar poor condition at Okeechobeee, Florida. On 21 August 2022 the aircraft had filed a flight plan from Toluca (Mexico) to Oranjestad (Aruba). South of Jamaica, the aircraft vanished from radar and was later found abandoned in El Zompopero, San Luis, Petén (Guatemala). It had been intentionally crash landed there while trafficking narcotics. No arrest were made and no narcotics were found. Photo/video evidence shows a quite well executed landing. When I took the photo I initially thought that this was the end of line for the aircraft but with the above knowledge in mind it may have been waiting for maintenance.
