OK, not really sure what that has to do with me but you should let him know next time he’s online or something

Which one of his in-laws are you friends with? One of the many crazy sisters, or the one brother?

South of Houma was one of his drop sites, according to one of his old airplane mechanics.

The new Seal movie sucked and didn't have many facts. Doublecrossed with Dennis Hopper was 100 times better.

The dude who landed in Cameron parish was from Eunice. Recognized him . But forgot his name, read his story . This was to be 3rd and last flight. He was to quite and w2lkawaybwith 1 million tax free. That was a lot of money in 1989. Last I heard he went to federal pen. Don’t know want happened to him afterwards

I met him a couple of times, don’t really remember him. Went to a couple of nice bbq’s at their house in White Castle or thereabouts.

That was an interesting time and since by virtue of being friends with a few of his sisters in law made it even more interesting to me. Did he ever come back to this area?

I’m pretty sure Barry Seal’s brother was the helicopter pilot for WBRZ at that time as well.

He’s no longer in Alaska.
I’ve heard a rumor of him still going to WC occasionally.

Quid pro quo: what were the first letters of these sisters-in-law’s names?

You'd be wrong.

641 between Airline Hwy and I-10 was under construction and barricaded off for several years. His much younger cousins (one a girl that ran away from her parents) shacked up with her boyfriend a few days a month under the I-10 @ 641 and would light flares after Barry buzzed them. Worked for a long time until (I think state trooper) police decided to go around the barricades and take a nap (that part is a guess) he claimed to see the flares. One of the cousins was a student at LSU when he got busted. He got kicked out of LSU but somehow after his trial he got it wiped from his record by EWE. He got caught with pounds of snow but was charged with a couple ounces. Barry's cousin (the girl ) worked for me for 2 years. The other cousin was quite the BMOC while at LSU. His parties were a smash. As I was told he would only drop a load near water if he had no choice, as in low fuel and being followed. In the last movie his Brother in law got waxed, but he didn't have a brother in law.

I thought both were great movies. His cousins claimed he didn't have that much money though. Unless the CIA which he definitely worked for found it all.
he did have an airstrip in Arkansas but he never actually owned all that was portrayed in it. The field was built under a governor called Clinton. Ollie North was the guy calling the shots. Seal used his CIA connections to get out of a few jams but I think they got tried of his impatience, I mean they knew when he got arrest but as I hear he would get to demanding the police call the CIA. Some says the plane George Bush used for years was Seals after a conversion.
