King Air drug plane similar to one stolen in Honduras

In related news, a plane which resembles the drug plane on the Southern Highway was stolen on the night of November seventh from the Armando Escalon military base in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. According to the official reports from Honduras, the plan to steal the twin engine plane was put in motion two weeks prior to the incident. The engine was reportedly revved up, the plane was refueled and one of two keys went missing. The plane, which was originally registered in Mexico, mysteriously landed and was abandoned at the Ramon Villeda Airport in September 2008. It was first handed over for servicing to the Ministry of Defense, which subsequently took possession of it. The reports say that the plane was stolen with the collaboration of an elite special commando of the Honduras military. We report on this incident because the plane has a striking similarity to the drug plane that landed in Belize on Saturday morning. Both planes are Beechcraft twin engine King Air 200's and both were abandoned.
