My aren't those agents bold, siezing those military fighters so calmly...

How do you sieze them- you put a sticker on them that says they are siezed?

I'm looking for a new business opportunity, what's all this about?

"Mr Hart was marketing tax avoidance schemes, creating false taxation deductions and misappropriating monies to the sum of $1.2 million"


And why do they sieze perhaps $5 million in assets to settle a bill of $1.2 million?

Why to cover all of the costs of course. Hard work doing all that siezing.

I beleive that these seized aircraft are hangared as part of the Flying Fighters collection based at Archerfield Airfield just outside of Brisbane. They make up a substantial part of the collection but not all (90%).

So nothing changes down under compared to up North in Alaska. Didn't federal agents seize planes up there last month only to have to return them with egg all over their faces?
Sounds like the bar should be renamed the BENDOVER BAR.

So are they going to auction off the planes? Ive heard of very good discounts at police auctions in California. :D
