Gotta love the media . "Smuggled" ?? LOL !

Both aircraft were regularly flying around YYC . It was hard to miss them.

Maybe the camo paint job confused the Tax men ??

sounds like he brought them in for a "pre-buy inspection", bought them, and didn't give the government their cut. Shitty deal.

The killer is, he got them across, and then put one of them in the CYQL air show, where a customs dude was admiring it and ran the numbers. Ooopsiee. I think one is on apron #2 right now in Edmonton. (CYEG)

Big deal. Pocket change for him. I bet the person in charge of the import FORGOT to pay the GST.
