Why bother buying a plane when they can just steal an old 707/727 of which hundreds are lying around across South America and Africa. Some suggest the vanished 727 in Angola (N844AA) was stolen for such purposes.

Al Qaeda (the CIA) are supposedly using stolen 727s to run their contra around the world as front airlines like Air America of the 70's can no longer stay secret.
