Welcome to Episode 227: The Vanished Boeing 727. In 2003, a massive Boeing 727 vanished without a trace from a heavily guarded airport in Angola, and no one has seen it since. In this episode, we dive into the tangled political history of post-civil war Angola, the shadowy world of arms trafficking and black market aviation, and the strange final moments of the jet before it allegedly took off with two men aboard and disappeared forever. Was it stolen, crashed, sold to a warlord, or something even stranger? Buckle tf up, Haunties, because there’s about to be turbulence as we fly you through one of aviation’s most baffling unsolved mysteries.
