This Bankrupt.com page contains some interesting information. (Search for "SKYWAY
COMMUNICATIONS: Case Summary & 20 Largest Unsec. Creditors" to find the correct point on page)
Firstly, it contains this:
Debtor: Skyway Communications Holding Corp.
fka I-Teleco.com, Inc.
fka Mastertel Communications Corp.
6021 142nd Avenue North
Clearwater, Florida 33760
And check out under the 20 largest unsecured creditors. "Royal Sons, Inc. - $127,500"
Dunno if this is relevant, but check out the address of Brent Kovar that's listed on Google maps. The satellite view shows it as an empty lot among
a bunch of houses.
Update: This page seems to be
the first group of people to discover this story and were the inspiration for Hopsicker's article. They discover a bit of additionally interesting
information so reading through the comments is advised.
Several things of note: Aircraft N391SA, a Beechcraft which was apparently also used to smuggle drugs has the same listing on the FAA site where it
was exported to Venezuela. However, the former company it was registered to? Sky Way Aircraft Inc!
Link
And the de-registration took place in 2004. Here's the translation from dutch from the source document linked to on the GNN thread:
This King Air, the former 76-22560 of the US Army, but now owned by Sky Way Aircraft disappeared during a flight with three persons on board from
Despegue del Aeropuerto Caracas to Aeropuerto Santiago Mariño near Margarita in Venezuela. One day later the machine was found in Nicaragua with fake
registration N168D (the real N168D is a CN235-300). The Beech is confiscated because there were strong indications it was used for a drugs transport.
The crew disappeared without a trace.
Also check out
this article (google
cache as the real page seems to be dead). A highlight:
1 May 2005 - The Kovars and Jim Kent have resigned. The newly appointed director Roy Powers has also just resigned. The company no longer has
directors as far as we can tell . The company has also been evicted from its offices. The Judge in the investor suit has effectively frozen any
contemplated sale of whatever assets of the company might still possess. Skyway, as it was known no longer exists. This scam, at long last is
over.
There is a ton more information on there I want to read and I'm going to save a copy of the cache before it disappears completely. This is the most
information I have found so far on Skyway.
There's another post in the GNN thread that goes into the various people in Skyway, James Kent in particular. He was previously with Satellite
Access Systems, Brent Kovar's father's business. Satellite Access Systems was purchased by... a snowboard company, Corsaire, Inc.
