One thing that needs correcting is the details of the aircraft.
ASN, and the latest Scramble, say that it is N020, ex XT-MBE.

Minor problem:
XT-MBE is a srs 200: http://jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6574592&nseq=0
3X-GGG was a srs 100: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Republiq ... 2197567/L/
(count the windows)

I strongly suspect that 3X-GGG was c/n 9, the former N833CA and Botswana OG2
