I was offered 25K in the 80s to make one run to Cancun and pick up a load of (???something??? 3x5 feet box wrapped in rubber) and do a kickout to a 42 foot ketch sail boat off of New Orleans on a particular bearing and distance. I grew up with the guy making the offer but never the less like I told him I have spent a lifetime getting my licenses and have no desire to get involved with the drug trade.
Maybe unrelated there was a pilot found with 7 bullet holes in his body, south Texas,...
25k was a lot of money back then but I would not cross that line...probably because I had worked for a division of NSA and did not want to get back into looking over my shoulder, watching, and waiting for something bad to happen either from our own people or some outside force.
This is one of the guys who made it big in the trade but payed a big price in the end.
