The package contained a street value of approximately thirty-two thousand, two hundred dollars ($32,200.00) worth of marijuana and Percocet prescription drugs.

Is JOW still around in that neck of the woods? She was painted yellow the last time I saw her...

Hope you enjoy the money you received for enabling the destruction of other people.

meh, what ever happened to personal responsibility?
Probably the same logic that put a warning on my hair dryer reminding me not to use it while in the shower.

I dont condone drug dealers, nor do I like them, but come on, no one is forcing anyone to do anything

I agree with SCRS opinion. It all comes down to responsibility and common sense.

Would you need a CPL to fly drugs or would a PPL be fine? :roll:

Is it any worse than the damage done by daily loads of pop, chips and kfc into the northern communities? Not in my opinion.

Must have been a private pilot - the drugs package was actually destined for Parliament Hill.

Good point.

There is a very nervous pilot out there right now thinking about prison. Probably wishing they had stuck it out hauling the above instead of going for the quick buck that many of us have been tempted by. It's up to you though. Personal responsibility.

What about money made doing maintenance on drug planes? The nice thing is they pay their bill promptly and don't complain.


I did the annual on this one in YCW three years ago (long after NVA) and it wound up in Barrie of all places with a load of ecstasy. A certain FTU owner in Chilliwack got busted over that one.

Maybe he wants to apply to Air Transat, and he is just building his resume.

Hey, I Fly for Pie....I wondered why the Chilliwack FTU owner drove a Mercedes and yet his school's aircraft were old and very rickety looking. I actually have 2 or 3 hrs. on that old Aztec that lived there. I had just started my M-IFR but I moved on as I did not like the aircraft much and the instructor (culprit) was very unreliable. (probably had other jobs to do)
Is that guy in jail or did they really through the book at him and make him go mow the lawn in park every weekend for 6 weeks straight??
