It took months to find the planes I guess it was just a case of "sloppy accounting", see for instance Errors May Have Inflated Iraq Arms Claims Yahoo!

In perhaps the most striking example, U.S. government auditors found in 1994 that almost three tons of plutonium, enough for hundreds of nuclear bombs, had "vanished" from U.S. stocks, because of discrepancies between "book inventory" and "physical inventory." --- and we still do not know why he did it...
