Rogue pilots trafficked a billion dollars in cartel drugs across US while no one watched
Robert Carlson, a California businessman who dreamed of becoming the cocaine king of the skies, used private jets for three years to funnel a billion dollars worth of cartel drugs through smaller airports across the country — exploiting a security blind spot. He did it over and over again, profiting off a rarely policed mode of transportation.

How ludicrous! The vast majority of private aircraft in this country are 30-40-50-60+ year old Pipers, Cessnas and Stinsons.
