The aircraft was a Boeing 737. I researched this indepth awhile back, even getting actual images of the airframe in question. It was refitted with a couple of 1,500 gallon fuel tanks where the passengers used to sit. It is literally a flying bomb.

I hear rumors this aircraft is in South America somewhere.

Was it a white plane with gold and dark red or burgundy lettering or design?

Or a vehicle well suited to deliver something or someone from a long distance.

Isn't that the flight (missing plane) that is believed to have crash in Benin on Christmas?

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.
