Didn't Ben Seal work for channel 2 flying their helicopter for a while?
My nephew was pretty good friends with Barry's son.

Yes. Doing well. Doesn't talk about his years with Barry, not that I blame him!

Glad to hear that. As a teenager I thought his wife was so hot. {No Pics}
I never put 2 and 2 together about the airstrip 'til I was a few years older.

My great uncle, who was the school teacher of an associate of Carlos Marcello, knew Barry Seal's bartender.

I think the owner you are referring to is my cousin! Was that the airstrip right outside of White Castle, maybe near a sugar cane field?


If so I grew up near that "field". I once got run off of it while cutting donuts in the clovers with my atv by some very angry men. Guessing late 80's

I believe Judge Polozola got him killed by sentencing him to a shelter from 10 to 6 every night.
The state AG and others appealed the decision to Federal AG Edmond Muskie to no avail.




Ed Meese?

Meese was attorney general. Muskie was a liberal Democrat who ran for President about 15 years earlier.

Knew one of his airplane mechanics and my friend grew up with his sons.

I've heard his sons are pissed that Tom Cruise is playing the part. I would be too.

FIFY. First marriage had offspring that stayed out of trouble.

I know someone who flew with their group a couple times. Supposedly he was on a different job from running any illegal stuff. Also he said that a certain governor allowed some "extra" weight to be flown on his plane instead of Seals plane. I'm not saying any names.
