2 drug-jets crashed in Venezuela

Post by michel N »

XA-RAY (Hawker 125-800) crashed in the province of Zulia, after being chased by the Air Force.
(Ex) N400RS (Sabre 80) crashed near the coast after trying to evade detection by radar. Both crew did not survive.

The Sabre crashed today, Hawker a few days ago.

Guess they did not want to pay Maduro money for protection...

Some more crashes came to light:
30th of July N515BA King Air 200
August 1st N17JE Cessna 402
Both crashed in Zulia. Apparently the Air Force shoots them down, because they don’t want the Army to make money with supporting drugs cartels. They want a part of the cake also...

To be continued...

A more accurate title might be 2 drug props crashed in Venezuela. A Cessna 402 is not even a turbo-prop.

Both airplanes held valid US registrations at the time of their demise.

The first crashes mentioned in the topic were a Sabre and a Hawker, which were the drug-jets in the title :)
