I am Joseph B. Padilla, SR. I live in Pensacola, Florida – U.S.A. I am the Brother of Ben Charles Padilla Jr. He is suspected to be the Pilot of the Missing Boeing 727 Plane that left the Airport in Angola on May 25 2003. I am tring to reach news organizations to help me locate anyone that has seen or heard anything about this missing plane or my brother.

I appeared on ABC’s Good Morning Amercia with my Sister Benita Padilla-Kirkland on June 19 2003 in hopes to get the story out and to locate my brother. We both also appeared on CNN’s Morning show, American Morning, on June 24 2003.

On June 23rd, we posted a story about Benjamin Padilla, who piloted the Boeing 727 that vanished after taking off in Africa. The plane took off from Luanda Airport in Angola without permission and no one knows where it was headed. It had been refitted to haul diesel fuel tanks, meaning it could be used as a flying bomb in a 911-style scenario. Now Joseph Padilla is sending out a plea for information about what might have happened to his brother. Click on “Full Story” below to see a photo of Benjamin Padilla.
