	Ben Charles Padilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ben Charles Padilla (born 1952 in Pensacola, Florida) is a small airplane pilot, and a jet airplane mechanic, who was lost on May 25 of 2003 in the African country of Angola.
		Padilla was in Angola because an airplane leasing company had sent him there to participate as an in-flight mechanic during a ferry flight of a Boeing 727 airplane to the company's headquarters.
		After the crash of UTA Flight 141, on December 25 of 2003, rumors spread that the jet-liner used for that flight could in fact, be the airplane that Padilla was supposed to be flying in when his (and the plane's) mysterious disappearance occurred.
