Hey !! Let's crash it, and run !!

Why we never leased out our aircraft.

I sure hope Donna has a good paper trial to cover her a--.

http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20070924-0

Then this comes out:

Sept. 26, 2007 -- SPECIAL REPORT -- Plane that crashed in Yucatan with 3.2 tons of cocaine was CIA rendition aircraft. WMR has learned from knowledgeable European sources that a Gulfstream II that crash landed 1.3 miles from Tikokob in Yucatan, Mexico after being chased by Mexican military helicopters for flying illegally into Mexican airspace was one of the planes chartered to the CIA for the renditioning of kidnapped prisoners. The crash landing took place on September 24. The tail number of the Gulfstream is N987SA.

CIA. too !? Oh, just ducky !!

Maybe that’s why nobody can find where Donna Blue Aircraft Inc. is actually based.

Hmmmm……




(Don’t ask me about chasing a G-II with a fling-wing. That one stumped us too. I recall they said it was circling though…why not leave? Duh…. But then, 6400 lbs of coke don't leave much for fuel.... )

I wonder how much 6,400 pounds of coke is worth? Talk about a high margin business!

Damn, the plane is a throw away than!

WVO I'll make you the deal of a life time:

I'll steal 7k pounds of coke from a drug lord, you supply the plane. We will sell it and split the $300,000,000 in half. Change ID's and retire in Europe.

I need a pilot! I can't fly that thing! I'll pay you 50%, about $150,000,000 to supply the plane and fly it.

This semester for one of my classes we have to come up with a business idea and run with it. The prof was asking for ideas...I said I could run drugs...he said it had to be legal...I said I could run guns...he said it had to be legal in the US...damn details...so I did real estate.

Sounds a lot like the (young) Tom Cruise movie, Risky Business.

I think I had that same prof at ERAU (Prescott, AZ) in ’86. At the time, I was “running” electronics (Mainly VCRs and such) into Mexico out of Douglas AZ. Had an old gutted Cessna 182. Made about $6500/week. The prof said my idea would never work, not to mention it was illegal. He was wrong on both accounts. (Well – It was illegal in Mexico. details...)

I carried an old S&W 357 and 6 PB&Js on every trip. Figured I could survive the walk back on the PB&Js if I ditched, and I could shoot 5 rounds at the Mex-Feds if I ever got caught. The 6th was for me if a Mexican prison looked inevitable. (young and dumb……)

Lasted about a year. Then I got busted on a return trip by the DEA and Cochise County Sheriff. Had to lay face down on a really really hot tarmac while they searched my empty plane. That sucked. Got a hell of a lecture on getting stuck in Mexico. Told them about the “6th round” theory. We all agreed that was a good idea. They had been watching me for over a month. They were pissed I wasn’t a drug runner.

Six months later they hooked up with the FAA to do some radar issue testing. Seems a friend of mine who lived down that way had a Veri-eze that would only show up (on their radar) when the prop disc was facing the right way. They wanted him to do some test flights with it so they could watch it come and go off the radar. He was going out of town at the time, so guess who got the job?!
I made damn sure they paid for that hot tarmac treatment.

Shortly after that, I figured out that certain folks in LA would pay more for an airplane ride than Mexicans would pay for a nice VCR.

For $300M, you'll not only figure out how to “acquire” a G-II, but you’ll figure out how to fly it in about 10 minutes as well.

Hey are you my ex boss?

My ex boss (can I name him?) got caught in 1987, 10 years after running planeloads of stuff from Mexico. I always wondered what he did for a living. It's no wonder he had a fleet of P-cars and a full time mechanic on premises.

Duh….Sorry – It was a long night. (note the 3am posts…)

Somehow I was thinking of the doctor from back in the 20s.

Not the hairless homo Eastern pilot assassination related anti-Kennedy anti-Castro but run guns to him and hang with Marcello in NOLA oh and hey let’s jerk-off in the cockpit guy.
