st27 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Quote Police believe a fire that destroyed an aircraft at an airport east of Toronto was deliberately set. At 11:30 p.m. Thursday, emergency crews were dispatched to Buttonville Airport in Markham for reports of a plane on fire. The aircraft, a Dassault Falcon 50 tri-jet, was parked outside of a hangar when the fire started. It’s also reported that the aircraft that the aircraft was 1980 vintage, had been flown in a couple months ago and just sat there. Still registered US.....maybe caught in the ADS b backlog.....any thoughts or gossip? https://globalnews.ca/news/6607991/suspicious-fire-plane-buttonville-airport/ https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/police-investigating-suspicious-fire-that-destroyed-1m-plane-at-toronto-area-airport-1.4831513 I always liked the look of the Falcons (the 10 not so much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.O. Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Flown to YKZ in October and hasn’t moved since. Registered to a Trustee. Hmm, nothing suspicious about that. Maybe they were trying to keep it out of the hands of the Airplane Repo guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust flight tracking sites to accurately reflect movements of private aircraft and there is nothing unusual about aircraft being registered in the United States by a trustee.

J.O. Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 My fairly reliable source says it hasn’t moved since October and the charter outfit that was advertising it has ceased operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMP Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Very poorly executed insurance job? Well... I guess well executed but certainly not subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
