[Does so]

I've lost track of a recent e-mail of 11 passengers involved in a dry run on a "Flight 927" to Houston. Escorted off, then back on again. The crew left the flight but were replaced by a new crew.

Snopes has nothing on it, and another site has, in part, called it a hoax. The e-mailed version was slightly more detailed, which suggested it was a genuine event.

Canada Free Press can't seem to finish loading their page after the advertisements. Anyone got the most up-to-date link?

Make that flight 297—Previously covered, and appears "real":

You are right; it is very hard to get info on those, hampered as we are by PC nonsense, especially post-flying imams settlement.

I see you found the info in post 13, but for anyone else looking, do FR keyword search “flight297” — http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/flight297/index

There were a number of threads with verification on them, good work by the Marietta Daily Journal, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2401860/posts

and video of a passenger/witness Brent Brown who is also head of a security firm out of Atlanta (!) — http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2404615/posts

also check out “flight227” on United, which was VERY similar, Denver IA, 12/09: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/flight227/index .which was reported by, it would seem, only ONE local station (acc locals): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2406039/posts

Snopes is trying to prove “dry run”; how about if we just prove that a group of mideasterners/muslims/WHATEVER!! were disobeying direct instructions from flight crew?

Either way, their goal of terrorizing passengers/crew, probing for weaknesses and likely reactions, and lawsuit-baiting was accomplished.
