Fighter Jet Engines 'Stolen From Israeli Base'
How do you walk off an Israeli Air Force base with 30,000 pounds worth of fighter jet engines? Can you think of anyone who might want a handful of advanced super-sonic jet engines engines rather than the dubious theory it's for scrap metal? (sg.finance.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
it happen in a company I worked for many years a go, a low loader turned up on a sunday morning only one storeman on duty, driver had the paper work with part number and S/N, for a fully build up JT3 (boe 707) complete with nose cowl and tail pipe loaded it up and was never seem again it takes some balls
Michael Chapman, gotcha! (LOL!).
Wingscrubber & chalet: It is possible, but only if MacGyver is doing the work. :)
Isreal losing 8 engines... My guess is papaerwork error.

Actually I am working a deal to buy one from the theft for a golf cart project I am working on.
Problem is Ian, they have been reported as stolen so if this scenario were true, they would not be reported as stolen and no one knows where they are. I'm sure it would take more than one person to make them disappear on paper. If so then they need to suspect the auditors responsible for that departments accounting and inventory control. What would one of these engines sell for on the black market?
I agree, Hansberger. Someone is not telling the whole story. How are you going to just walk off with 2 jet engines unnoticed. Definitly sounds like someone on the inside helped make this caper possible. I wonder how much money they made on the deal.
