How do people even find these kinds of jobs.They always get caught eventually if they do it long enough.It doesn't seem worth the money.

I had an ex-student who was an "ex"-drug dealer offer to set me up with a guy he knew in miami. He was saying one or two runs and I'd be set $$ wise for the year.

Suffice to say, I stopped flying with him .

I've known of people who went to Mexico with an airplane and never came back. Apparently, failing the "job interview" down there is pretty bad news for you. Also, one of the Tower Chiefs from Juarez was found dead I heard in a burned out C210 at some mountain strip. The airplane hadn't crashed, it just burned with him in it....

Wouldn't Customs just have another plane fueled and ready to go in case fuel got low?

I know of a person who used to do some drug flights, that were sponsored by DEA. DEA would actually arrange everything, hire the plane and crews, to arrest those on the recieving end in the US. Crews got paid a lot of money for those flights.

He also used to sell various Douglas aircraft. Sometimes he would sell one for cash, and off it would go. Then he would often get a call later asking why his aircraft was abandoned somewhere and possibly used in a drug operation. The buyers has never actually transferred title, they just used it once and abandonded it somewhere in a field or airport. He would show proof that he had sold it to someone earlier. Since the title has not been transferred, he was still technicallly the owner and was allowed to pick the plane up again, and sell it again
