On February 11, 1980, a Beechcraft 58 Baron #N9027Q was...STOLEN...from Cyril E. King Airport, Charlotte Amalie, on the island of St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands...and was flown towards Miami, Florida, USA...
Several hours later, the Pilot radioed that he was off the coast of Miami, and that the plane was experiencing Fuel Starvation and the engines were dying... He also noted he was disoriented In Clouds, flying at an altitude of 150 FT, and he was preparing to ditch in the Atlantic Ocean...
Nothing more was heard from the plane & Miami has confirmed the weather in the area at the time was "Perfect".
11 HOURS LATER...
Another airport, 600 miles away from Miami, picked up a radio transmission from "#N9027Q"... The pilot of #N9027Q radioed that he was 10 minutes out and wanted clearance to land...
Nothing more was heard from the plane & the plane never arrived.
No trace of the aircraft or it's pilot was ever found.

You can usually learn about this mystery in many BERMUDA TRIANGLE books/documentaries and disappearance listings... BUT... Quite frequently, most of those fail to mention that this plane had been STOLEN...
Probably, because that would generate more "Earthly" explanations for the plane's disappearance, causing the "Mystery" to be explained away...
However... Even if the pilot was trying to "Abandon" the plane to make a getaway from being arrested for stealing the plane... That doesn't quite explain the radio transmission that was received 11 HOURS AFTER the plane was "reported to be" out of fuel, and was ditching in the ocean...
Is there an "Earthly" explanation for the FINAL radio transmission? Was it all "somehow" a Hoax?... or... Is it a true mystery that can ONLY be attributed to the mysterious "Bermuda Triangle"?
