Narrative:
A Colombian "PBY" reportedly disappeared over Guatemala on ferry flight.
It's unclear if the aircraft actually crashed because there was no mention in Colombian newspaper El Tiempo. Also, at the date it supposedly went missing, there was a coup d'état in Guatemala also involving the use of several aircraft.
