A former addict used to work for my dad years ago and swore up and down that a guy who currently lives in St. Amant knew Barry Seal and would help him with deliveries and receiving at an air strip somewhere in the middle of nowhere out there. I don’t know how true that is but he swore it was true.

I remember the killing like it was yesterday and I never fail to think about it when I go past the Salvation Army on Airline.

You should also check out a book entitled Barry and the Boys.

There is actually a better movie about Barry Seal. It is called Doublecrossed with Dennis hopper playing Barry Seal.


Was just going to say the same.

My dad had to fly from BR to Galveston and from BR to Dallas - last minute for emergency audits, stayed at the hotel with him. I think they flew from the old airfield at Independence Park. He is 88 now and we kid him about being in the cartel.

My dad knew him enough to know his wife didn't look anything like Sarah Wright and Barry sure as F ain't Tom Cruise.

tom cruise is pants-on-head fricking nuts

but he's pretty damn good at pretending like he isn't.


im not a fan of the scientologists, but if they could promise me his longevity and seemingly endless youth, discipline, fitness, and a few high end stupid models... i might come around

I think I’ve shared these here before but my csb is owning a safe taken from his house





Unfortunately it did not come with drugs or money inside it once the police had taken it

My dad did. They had a mutual friend that introduced them. My dad flew in Vietnam etc so him and Barry kind of connected on that kind of shite and remained friends for awhile until things went wrong for Barry.

I met Barry several times. Friend of the family. Uncle ate Mexican food with him a couple of weeks before he was assassinated. The next day he said Barry seemed very nervous.

I went to Baton Rouge High with his younger brother, Benjie who really worshipped Barry...and my mom was a CPA and did Brry's income taxes for years.....nothing but good things to say about him.

I didn't know him, but drove past the salvation army just as police were pulling in after he was shot.
