SNIPPET: "SPOKANE -- Authorities in North Idaho are reporting that sometime early Tuesday morning a small airplane was stolen from the Boundary County Airport.

The Boundary County Sheriff confirms they received a report regarding the theft of a 2005 Cessna T182T aircraft around 7 AM Tuesday morning. The aircraft, with tail number N2183P, is a white and blue fixed wing single engine aircraft. It is believed the aircraft was taken from the airport around 5:45 Tuesday. They're not sure in what direction the plane was flown from the airport."

SNIPPET: "Authorities are working to confirm if the theft is related to several similar break-ins at the airport across the Canadian border in Creston, British Columbia. In those cases someone stole firearms, attempted to steal a plane only to find the battery was dead and stole a car and rammed it through a gate."

You have AF facilities nearby that have that information. If it was in flight.

[Cindy]

I hope this is not what we are all afraid it is.

Any pilots on this thread? What’s the range of that aircraft and what is in range of that aircraft.

I hope the Air National guard is up and looking.

The A-10 flight from Tuscon to Denver was quite a challenge, I went out and looked as best I could. He left airspace radar going into the white mountains and was the plane found the next spring into the side of a Colorado Mtn. It was his first flight with HE. (High Explosives)
Scary stuff.

[Cindy]

I’m sure all the agencies have the info Ronin.

As an aside, did you get a chance to see this thread I posted, too?

It may or may not be related.
I don’t have enough details to know at this time.

Was that the one during the McVeigh trial at the Denver Fed courthouse?

I don't think it was related to OKC. He was scheduled to be at Range 1 at the Goldwater Range in 1997 I believe. He took a turn north east of Phoenix and the AF didn't act to much. When he never showed it was to late. The plane was gone and he would have crashed soon. The problem was the weapons on board. It created quite a stir.

Now that I think about it OKC was trying to be tied into this. The connection was never made.

Not sure what you might fear but this is a small plane.

“Not sure what you fear...”

I have no preconceived ideas on this incident Covenantor.
It’s posted here as a story of interest. I will update it as
updates become available.

Thank you for posting this photo.

There had been CT rumors that another coordinated Al Quada 9/11 type attack would take place in Oct this year using small aircraft such as this to transport suitcase devices over 8 American cities. 25Oct seemed to be the target date.
