Back around 1970, there was a smuggler who had two aircraft, one legit and the
other stolen. He had the stolen one painted to match the legitimate one. He used
to make drug runs in the stolen one while keeping the legit plane conspicuously
and legally busy several States away.

Worked just fine until the landing gear collapsed at TYS on a smuggling run one
day.
