Old Narco Jet Chopped and Screwed Down

And while narco-activity may have factored into that disappearance, there was some excitement over what some thought to be another narco plane coming out of southern Orange Walk today.

Well, it was a narco plane - but one that landed between Crooked Tree and Carmelita almost two years ago - in January of 2020. Government has spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to get the Gulfstream G2 jet flown out of there - and tens of thousands more on man hours guarding the plane.

Well - due to the soft soil - they gave up on getting it out of there and sold it as is - basically for scrap to an Orange Walk businessman. His crew cut off the wings, and carted it out of the are behind Carmelita today.
