Without the multi-entry visa, Dodson wrote, the Jewish group had
three options: Get off in Poland and find its own way to Israel, fly
with Kilari to Syria before going to Israel, or cancel outright. The
group called the bluff and chose Door No. 3. Because the $850,000 was a
"donation," Global Peace Initiative refused to refund the money, which
was sunk into the plane. Less than a month after Kilari stood up the
Jewish group, the plane took a last-minute jaunt to Canada, where it
confused officials at the tiny Thunder Bay, Ontario, airport, which
hadn't serviced a 747 in years. It sat there for about a week, at which
point the Federal Aviation Administration deemed it unairworthy. Yet for
some reason, the administration permitted Kilari to fly the plane to
Tijuana, where it is now collecting dust in a vacant lot.
Some time after earning a degree in economics at Bentley College in Massachusetts, Charles Ghankay Taylor returned to his native Liberia and became one of the most vicious African warlords in recent history.
He also became Kilari's friend.
