Unlikey secenario[edit]

One calculation that explains how the plane could have taken off weighing 148,943 pounds is if it contained 3,055 pounds of cargo (or no cargo and fuel density error accounts for the difference) and was filled to capacity with 49,300 pounds of fuel. On landing in Nicaragua, the plane would then have weighed 109,000 pounds. At the time of the accident and into the 1980s there was a lucrative industry smuggling cargo from Nicaragua into the United States--while there is no evidence of that here, there are discrepancies and narratives such as Barry Seal that leave open a door that it is not an infeasible narrative.

Aircraft Section[edit]

Put the Aircraft section further up un the order. Felt more appropriate than all the way towards the end. GansMans (talk) 23:33, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
