"They called me saying 'We know the guy,'" Irizarry told FOX News.com."A couple of years ago, when they revoked his pilot's certificate, that’s the time they say he was involved in drug smuggling and alien smuggling's."

Jimenez was training in the Dominican Republic Armed Forces as a Navy cadet before he was discharged for unlicensed flying.But when Jimenez met the Puerto Rico Airline pilot to test the plane, a representative from "Atlantic Airlines" started loading 11 passengers onto a Turks and Caicos-bound flight. The pilot told Jimenez he wasn’t allowed to fly the plane, but Jimenez responded that Atlantic Airlines purchased the plane that morning, Irizarry told FOX News.com.
The plane disappeared in the fabled Bermuda Triangle — in which, according to pop culture legend, planes and sea-faring vessels mysteriously vanish without a trace.
