Belarus authorities are planning to auction off the airplane
Belarus authorities are planning to auction off the airplane confiscated from the two Lithuanian amateur pilots who violated Belarusian airspace earlier this summer. The German made, single motor CS-TW is valued at $85,000 (66,521 euros), but the starting price for the auction was $65,000. Due to a navigational error, the brother and sister team accidentally flew into Belarus airspace and were forced to land by fighter planes. The two were fined 1,450 euros each and held in a containment cell at a Belarus border-guard post. After being held for several days, they were deported from the country.
