That missing plane

CW has more. (If you're interested in such things - look over in his right nav and he has a whole series of posts on the missing 727.) CW's one of my best old blog-buddies. His site, in general, is packed with interesting things (Pan Am!). But his ongoing Missing 727 investigation is really something to follow.

I don't know what it is that makes this story so irresistible, but every time you link to it, I feel compelled to re-read the entire history.

And I still can't believe that no one's ever made a movie about a jetliner repo man.

Jeff - I so agree with you about this story.

The missing 727 story is going to be a movie at some point before too long, but the airplane repo man won't be in it. It's going to be based on the book _By Order of the President_, which is a fictionalized version, but not unrelated to the blog.

There is still an opportunity out there, for a screenplay about an airplane repo man. I can tell the story, but don't know how to write a screenplay.

We're still missing the ending, however.

CW - I read Order of the President on your recommendation - it was so much fun - I couldn't put it down. You definitely should be a consultant on any movie project that comes down the pike.
