Jody, have you not been offered a movie deal?



No...but I finally hired a Ghost Writer so hopefully my book will be out next year. That should lead to an offer....hopefully.

Maybe we can get Ton Cruise to play my dad :)

In the Netflix series Narcos, Barry Seal is featured in season 2 I think.


There's also a good bit about him early on in Cocaine Cowboys (which is a fantastic series).

My Dad kept a Cessna at Ryan as did Seal . I washed his plane once -and A lot of people I knew , knew him. But always one step removed.

On the other hand my Dads business partner owned a hotel in Managua , all three were pilots- so after the fact I heard all the stories. My Dad was actually there during the Week the Sandinistas seized power - they stole a plane to get out - and I always found that weird . My Dad was a pilot and electronics/ communications guy and he always knew sketchy people in sketchy areas - but because he was such a Boy Scout I figure it's just coincidence. I mean, he'd walk 100 miles to return a wallet , but he knew all the pilots of that era . I heard stories but never knew what I was hearing. And when Seal died my Pops wasn't too emotionally involved so I know he didn't have a personal connection.

I do remember his son that went to Tara. I felt pretty bad for him when his Dad got whacked. Damn shame he got hung out by the government like that - shameful, negligent stuff. If that happened today the conspiracy stuff would be white hot.

He use to fly into Mena frequently.
