Cannot readily find whether the avionics were legally purchased, or <cough, cough> acquired.

Time will tell if this is the same outfit that did heists from smash and grabs as reported in the Chicago area earlier this year.

I’d be interested to know what was on that pallet of equipment and how the serial numbers check out. I’ve heard of quite a few GA planes that lost GPS’s and Radios that were all tied down on ramps in the mid west.

It is funny how such great countries like armenia and the uae and cyprus are such willing accomplices. I hope they are dealt with as well by the State Department.

Hi Bruce,

Agreed. I'm wondering if we will hear anything more on this. Nothing in the news lately.
