A private jet bearing the American flag was spotted this week at an airport in Tehran, an oddity considering the fact that the U.S. is not currently doing business with Iran.
The reason for the plane’s visit: Unknown. The plane’s passenger: Also unknown.
The plane, which was seen Tuesday at Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran, according to the New York Times, is owned by the Bank of Utah, a community bank in Ogden that operates 13 branches across the state.
The plane’s tail number, according to Gawker, was spotted recently in Zurich at around the time that the city hosted the annual World Economic Forum.
The same tail number regularly pops up in Ghana. But there’s a good reason for this: That’s where the plane is based.
