I couldn't imagine them dropping it right there in plane view. Seems a bit moronic to me. That chopper would never catch that plane though.

pure pimp shit

Do you know Griselda Blanco? I watched her doc on tv... she was one of Flordia's biggest female drug lords and they said at one point her net worth was 500 million! That's a lot! I am against drug smuggling and I think it's terrible obviously but I commend her for succeeding in a male dominated business!

Fuckin Right! Thats some gangsta shit, I would have never taken those kinda pictures unless you were a cop. I would have just watched, So thanks for sharing this.

Thank you :thumbsup

girl power!

Those are some cool pics!

It was mentioned earlier that you could find bales washed up on the beach along Florida's coast.
They usually end up that way when the smaller boat that loaded up from the bigger boat took
too many and had to toss a few overboard to keep from sinking
or they got spooked and just dumped the whole load to keep from getting caught.

It would be very stupid to plan a drop like this but perhaps the plane knew he was in trouble,
called the boat and said he didn't have time to drop way offshore so he was going
to jettison just off the beach so the boat could reach the stuff ASAP and try to save the load.
Still sounds crazy but those guys were and most of the time greed to precedence over sound thinking.

While the helicopter can't run down the plane it's job was to make contact and maintain surveillance
on the plane and boat until something much faster could arrive :winkwink:

Thats awesome!!!

Back then they brought it in all kinds of ways. They would do it like these pictures but usually much farther offshore.
In southwest Florida The shrimp boats brought it in close enough for the speed boats to pick up and down in the Everglades it was brought in by airboats.

They would recruit locals with a keen knowledge of the area to bring it in through
a maze of canals and waterways that customs and DEA didn't have the resources to patrol.

You could go to a place like Everglades city and see toothless redneck hicks in old jeans and t shirts with five or six gold rope chains
and big gold anchor pendants around their neck and a gold Rolex on their wrist :1orglaugh

Fitty Smugglers:pimp

It got real interesting when the US Customs Lear Jet showed up while their boat down below got things under control
