OTTAWA — A mysterious Twin Otter plane owned by an alleged CIA front turned up in northern Ontario this fall, raising unanswered questions about why it was there.
From there, the 22-seat turboprop made the short trip to the airport just southwest of the hamlet of Bar River, Ont.
A Bar River airport official said he does not discuss planes that use the facility out of respect for customers' privacy.
"I suggest you don't pursue this any further," said the official, who asked not to be named.
