The missing airplane is white with orange and brown stripe. The FAA tail tag number of the missing plane is: N 6468E The Serial Number (harder to remove) is: 172 - 72021 The owner thought a friend borrowed it, but when it didn't come back Sunday morning, he did the 911 thing. "The best we can gather is that someone trespassed on the property and flew the plane out of there," Sgt. Jimmy Vowell of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office told news services in Atlanta. Airport manager Buster Boshears said the airport does not have security or tower personnel 24 hours a day, but the sheriff's office patrols at night. Boshears said the Cessna aircraft ranges in price from $25,000 to $160,000. Of course, there were warnings for everyone to watch for those planes taking unauthorized flights after September 11. And after the Tampa incident,you'll think we'd have learned something. The fact that no one knows where it went probably means who ever nabbed it turned the transponders off. If she's still airborne (fuel stops would be mandatory), look for something flying low; as to look like ground clutter on NORAD or commercial airspace radar. Investigator Cantrell of the Richmond Country Sheriff's Office told The Sierra Times that all air control towers are on alert. "We are working very aggressively on the situation". According to Deputy McClaren, "ain't no telling what that Cessna could carry". Flight specs show a Cessna 172 can carry up to a 500 lb. Payload. And before we get all bent out of shape, this could also be some drug boys looking for a fast way out of town. If anyone in Dixie spots this bird - well, you know who to call.
