Amongst the stories of the aircraft being spotted as 3X-GOM on June 28 2003 in Conakry, the capital of Guinea by Canadian pilot Bob Strother (as reported by The Guardian’s correspondant in Freetown, James Astill on Monday July 7, 2003) Airliner World also reported on the story, claiming that the a/c had been tracked down somewhere, and is now flying as 5N-BGQ for AfriJet!

5N-BGQ is a 727-281F (c/n 21455) and N844AA (3X-GOM?) is a 727-223, but then they are only numbers and paperwork! 😀
