I think you meant a Boeing 727 Sean, not a 737...

You say "It was refitted with a couple of 1,500 gallon fuel tanks..." How about FIVE of those tanks? For a 7500 gallon capacity?

I sure hope the plane hasn't somehow make its way to the southwestern US, if you know what I'm talking about. :-(

(can't find the article anymore, link is at home, but there was a report that 7300 gallons of gasoline - if you can believe that - were "stolen" from a Phoenix AZ gas station recently)

BTW, that Christmas plane crash in Benin was apparently not the retrofitted plane being sought.
