The flight plan for N463BA popped up yesterday as it made its way to Fort Lauderdale-Executive, FL. The plan indicated a point of departure as Macon, however it appears to have originated at National Aerotech's base in Hampton, GA.
This aircraft is the former Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana FAE-449, which crashed in the Rio Anzu, Ecuador back on 20-Jan-2011. It was subsequently completely rebuilt by National Aerotech.
Judging by the paint scheme, I would expect the destination to be SVG Air of Saint Vincent & The Grenadines.
