Well now, isn't that interesting cgk. From the article on that thread:
The Transportation Security Administration has issued an advisory that a Piper PA 25 Pawnee crop dusting aircraft was stolen near Ejido, Queretaro near Mexicali Mexico on November 1.Because I didn't know where in Mexico Mexicali is, I had to look it up.
Located on the US/Mexico border across the from Calexico California is the city of Mexicali, Mexico

What's the range of a plane like that on a tank of fuel?

Thanks...I wasn't sure which border town it was near. What struck me was the "call TSA immediately if sighted" statement in the release. The last one I read was just a report of a stolen plane, and they didn't know anything.
It's been raining off and on here in S.D. for the past 12 hours, heavy last night. I imagine it wouldn't have been too hard to fly it low across the border if the weather over there was similar.
