Falcon 20 down between DR and FXE

[hiss srq]

There is word around that a Falcon 20 belonging to Flaviation out of FXE is down in the ocean somplace between the Dominican Republic and FXE. Not many detail past that at this moment that I have been able to find. This year really has been the worst in memory of my life for crashes etc......... Godspeed gentlemen on your final westbound journey, may you always find tailwinds and smooth skies.

Interesting, its been pointed out how US news outlets didn't really pick up on it as well as a Citation crash last year.

Additionally it was reported that the plane was owned by Wells-Fargo. is that correct or is WF the lease holder?

They "own" the aircraft as the finance company, they don't actually own or operate it. The FAA registry has over 5,000 aircraft with "WELLS FARGO BANK NORTHWEST NA TRUSTEE" as the registered owner.
