It could have been faked after the fact and backdated !!
Considering that the FAA records for N987SA
still list DBA as the
owner—last I heard, the FAA hadn't received any paperwork from O'Connor and Smith for the transfer—that's possible. On the other hand,
they may just not have ever sent it in, because really, after it crashes, what's the point? It's not flying again. At this point it's just
speculation either way, and that won't get anywhere.

There are conflicting statements about how long they have been doing business. I'd also be very surprised if that phone number was real, maybe
anyone who lives in the area could give it a try?
This website looks like a high school project of some sort, not one of a reputable company.
I agree that it doesn't look like a reputable company's website should, however, take in mind that they simply used a Homestead template and didn't
edit everything. My guess is they wanted something one and quickly set that up, and then didn't ever finish it. Honestly, if this was an official
CIA operation and they had a website to flesh out their shell, it would be a lot better than that. Look at the CIA shells involved in extraordinary
rendition, and while they all follow a certain standard, it's very different from DBA. Their executives are often nonexistent, with recently
generated social security numbers, they're registered to a legal firm's office, with no official building of their own (whereas DBA has a building,
but it's empty), or they're owned by "former" CIA officers.

Sorry, but its true. They figure out what their readers would like to be the truth and then fabricate evidence for their readers. They have zero
interest in facts IMO. Might as well get your news from the Weekly World News. Batboy is cool though.
DailyKos is not the original source on this story. I have not read through their analysis of the event, and I imagine that a lot of their conclusions
are not accurate, but the crash did take place, and there are several connections to the U.S. government throughout the history of the aircraft,
including the final owners who purchased it just before the crash. Does this mean the CIA controlled the cocaine that was on board? No, not
necessarily, but it's an interesting story that has interesting connections, and should be looked into, whever it leads.

If this is the same plane I heard about in the a couple of months ago, then it's a plane that the CIA no longer used and sold. Coincidentally (or how
you may look at it), the buyers of the plane were cocaine smugglers. Government agencies auction of their vehicles and products all the time,
including law enforcement cars, computers, and office furniture.
N987SA crashed several months ago, yes. There is also N900SA, the DC9 caught in Mexico in 2006, which the Mexican government says was owned by the
same smuggling operation that owned N987SA. (The SA suffix on the N-numbers of both aircraft is coincidental. N900SA is numbered such because it was
owned by Sky Way Aircraft, which N987SA never was.) While I suspect that you're correct—the CIA used N987SA while it was under private ownership,
and then the owner later sold it to unrelated individuals—recognize also that the CIA often flips aircraft between multiple shell corporations in
order to make it look like they're no longer operating the aircraft, when in reality, it's just another of dozens of shells they run. I'm not
saying that's what happened, but they have done that in the past with rendition aircraft.
