As the sunset on 25 May, 2003, a Boeing 727 airliner was stolen from an airport in Angola.

The pilot, Ben Padilla, was an American flight engineer sent to Africa by his company to retrieve the plane and prepare it to make the long flight back to the U.S.

20 years later, the plane and its pilot are still missing, despite a worldwide search by the FBI and international intelligence agencies.
