Aircraft N3647Q

[John Hiles]

I saw the remains of this plane on an NBC special called BERMUDA TRIANGLE SECRETS REVEALED back in 1994. Apparently this plane was stolen and possibly used for drug running. It was incorrectly referred to as a PIPER on the show. It is sitting somewhere of the coast of BIMINI. I am curious to any details you people may know about this plane......
