Crop Duster Stolen Near Mexicali; TSA Issues Advisory

Following up on the post prior, AV Web has a post on the crop duster aircraft stolen from Ejido Queretaro, near Mexicali, Mexico, on Nov. 1. The stolen aircraft, a Piper PA 25 Pawnee, is registered in Mexico and bears the tail number XBCYP. If you see the aircraft, the TSA says you should immediately contact the TSA General Aviation Hotline at (866) 427-3287.

You may read the TSA Advisory, which includes a photo of a similar aircraft, here.

I'm a bit surprised (maybe I shouldn't be?) at the total lack of reporting on this item, even among the SoCal press. A Google News search turns up the AV Web and TIME items, and nothing else.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
