Narrative:Cessna 414A N90673: Sustained minor damage 19/9/1981 when force landed due to engine failure near Homestead, Florida. Engine failure caused by aircraft running out of fuel. Aircraft found abandoned with approximately 1,000 lbs of marijuana on board. It is presumed that there was only one person aboard (the pilot) who was not injured. However, there is no conclusive proof as to the number of persons on board nor as to their whereabouts or injuries (if any) sustained. Aircraft had been stolen - hence deemed to be an illegal flight (drug smuggling).
Delivered 24/2/1972: Test flown with US Registration as N37212. Former FTG Finanztreuhand Ges. für Grundbesitzanl. & Verm as D-IFTG (German Registry), Re-registered as N90673. Aircraft repaired, and later wore fake registration N80679; thence to Mexico as XC-FIZ with the Mexican Government.
