Colombians land and leave during drug bust

While the nation is still reeling from the suspected drug plane that landed on the Southern Highway after midnight on Saturday, there's some information that at any other time would have been seen as mere coincidence, but is now open for speculation. Last week Thursday, a small twin engine plane bearing the markings TG-MCA landed at the Philip Goldson International Airport. The TG stands for Tango Guatemala, the origin of the flight. On board were five Colombian nationals. On Sunday the Guatemalan plane left the airport without its passengers but another plane landed from Guatemala, with less than the required twenty-four hours notice. Identified as TGMOR, it picked up the five Colombian nationals and flew them back to Guatemala. The Ministry of Defense and Immigration was informed of the request to land since the plane gave short notice and new policies dictate that the ministry is informed of charter flights from neighboring countries. It is not known if the Ministry is seeking to know more about the passengers or the urgency of the return flight. And we cannot confirm if it has any bearing to the drug bust.
