Drug Jet Flown to Williamson Hanger, BDF Airwing
posted (April 26, 2018)

The drug plane that landed on the San Estevan/Progresso Road has been removed - and it is secured in a hangar at the BDF Airwing in Ladyville tonight.  

For sure, it's nothing to celebrate - since no drugs were intercepted and no arrests made - but it was an unusual sight to see a jet whipping down a village road.  

That's just what happened today when the aircraft - flown by a mystery pilot - used the long, straight road as a runway - and took off in a flash.  

From there it went airborne, and then landed at the PGIA just a few minutes later.  As we told you the Hawker Sidelley 225 is a twinjet mid-sized business jet - the type used by big corporations and the rich and famous.  There's no word on what this one - manufactured in 1982 will now be used for.
