As I seem to recall, he flipped and was helping the Justice Dept. with their case. The local US Attorney failed to provide the protection Seal was expecting, thereby getting wacked at the Salvation Army on Airline.
After it happened, the US Attorney was transferred to a job in Washington DC until things blew over.
Seal was a ballsy guy, but who has a C-119 as a personal aircraft ?????

I'd say a judge forcing him to live at the Salvation Army was pretty much a death sentence for ole Barry.

Is Reloaded the same but with additional footage?
Square Grouper looks interesting. May have to watch.

He was marked for death when Reagan held a televised press conference showing photos of the drug lord passing bags of coke that could have only come from hidden cameras on Barry's plane.

This isn't info pertaining to the OP's question but there is a secret landing strip tucked away off of Summerfield Rd in Prairieville on the Amite River that Seal used to bring in the coke. It just sits there and probably will never to used again. Just think that's pretty cool

Barry was a smart man that got in way over his head. He was involved with the highest level of government. They should make a movie about his life. Just what I know is extremely interesting.
Did you know he had an airport in Ascension Parish?

I remember as a kid passing by the Salvation Army when this happened and seeing the whole place taped off by the police. I still remember where his car was parked.

In case it hasnt been mentioned, his extravagant home is now a church.

Barry Seal's lawyer, still a well-known lawyer in BR, seemed to think that the bush family was directly involved in this whole thing. It's a fascinating story, really.
