One of those things that make you go hmmmm...
I just posted this on my site:
Briscoe Field, a small airport located in Gwinnett County, in suburban Atlanta has once again made headlines.
The small airport first sprang into international headlines when it was learned that two of the 9/11 hijackers, Mohamed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi, trained for their terrorist mission at the facility.
This time, the problem is a stolen 1995 Cessna Citation 650 charter jet that mysteriously appeared on the Briscoe tarmac over the weekend.
The plane, valued at between $7 million and $10 million, was last seen in St. Augustine, FL, on Saturday morning.
The pilots reportedly dropped off their passengers, and left the plane parked on the tarmac in St. Augustine. They noticed it was missing this morning (Monday).
According to officials at Briscoe Field, the plane apparently landed between 9 pm Saturday and 6:30 am on Sunday. (The tower at Briscoe Field is closed between 9 pm and 6:30 am.)
The Cessna was found Monday afternoon parked at Briscoe Field.
No one seems to know how the plane got back to Briscoe Field, or why it was flown back. Lance Rodgers, a flight instructor at Briscoe Field, is puzzled as well. “That's no small plane. That right there would have me a little puzzled because whoever took it has to be a very experienced pilot."
The incident remains under investigation.
Earlier this year, an international terror alert was raised for Nigerian-born Chris Hajaig, 35, who took flight lessons at Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field in 2002. A terrorism alert was issued after he allegedly tried to have his pilot rating upgraded to fly commercial aircraft despite not being qualified. Hajaig was later indicted by a federal grand jury on three counts of being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm. He was located and arrested in the UK.
That's interesting.
Sounds more like a drop off.
In other words, there was something in the plane that was being dropped off. The person that 'took' the plane only took it to make the pick up. Plane being stolen is the cover story for the exchange.
This happened to a tractor trailer here in NJ on Route 1.
According to officials at Briscoe Field, the plane apparently landed between 9 pm Saturday and 6:30 am on Sunday. (The tower at Briscoe Field is closed between 9 pm and 6:30 am.)So, nobody saw this plane on ANY radaar? Gees. I really feel safe now.
It is obvious that they wanted to deliver something or something to Georgia or a place elsewhere.
But then when you have 2 seperate bomb sites today, it does make you think. F.R. links to bomb threads in TM posts
#2168 and 2197.
Someone knew enough about the area to fly to a field and not be caught.
Do you recall a long list of numbers that we played with about 18 months ago, it was where I got the code 440 that I used and it always gave Atlanta? (from my foggy memory, should double checked it.)
It was 404 that I used, it is for Georgia phone code, I also used 444. Simply add it to a word that does not pull anything that is interesting and sometimes it will pull something worth looking at.
I also use 1426 for the year, when does it change again?
Thank you for posting this report.
LOL, this one did not show Georgia, but does have several links that you might find interesting.

Thanks for posting this informations. There are several small airports in Metro Atlanta. Briscoe, DeKalb Peachtree, and McCallum (Sp)in Kennesaw.
I just have to ask WHY was this guy still allowed to take lessons in this country?
Also, this reminded me of something I read somewhere [I can't remember where] about a crop duster plane stolen somewhere near the Mexican border. Does anyone remember that?
Yep, Hmmmm....is the first thing that came to mind.
