"According to John Randy Brodenhead, two FBI agents learned he had a flight plan filed by David Ferrie. The document showed a departure from Garland in a rented twin-engine Apache Piper. Ultimately, according to the plan, the plane would land in Havana, Cuba. However, before the agents returned with a warrant to secure the document, the airport office destroyed the document. The expected flight date on that plan was November 22, 1963, and the sole passenger was Lee Harvey Oswald."John Brodenhead, as I understand it, was the airport's owner. His testimony is related by Dallas researcher and author Jim Gatewood. I haven't found any additional information about this yet. What is strange about this story (compared to others in this long list) is that the list doesn't disappear in the hands of the FBI, no, the FBI wants to secure it, but it is destroyed by the airport office! Why would the airport office do such a thing? Did Brodenhead order it? I would not be surprised if there never was such a list to begin with. It reeks of framing the alleged assassin as an agent of Castro, a narrative pushed by fractions within the CIA before and after the assassination. Jim Gatewood published a biography about Sheriff Bill Decker (1999) and in 2004 he published Captain Will Fritz and the Dallas Mafia.

"Ferrie never filed flight plans, so conveniently for Shaw there was no record of this trip or any other he may have made with Ferrie."
"There were a couple of interesting aspects to this tale. First, Shaw was known to have a fear of flying. Yet here he was in a small Cessna on a long journey. This might well have indicated a more than routine mission for which Shaw felt personally responsible. Second, Ferrie never filed flight plans, so conveniently for Shaw there was no record of this trip or any other he may have made with Ferrie." (Jim Garrison, On the trail of the Assassins, p. 136-7)
