  1. It says only of confiscation of drugs and plane, but no where does it say if any suspects arrested, the marinas are famous for not arresting suspects.

    1. Looks like ghosts we're driving the plane, as they caught no one.

    4. Drones are getting pretty big these days. Can do international shipments from the luxury of your prison cell

    5. On or about last August 5 an aircraft carrying 450 kilos of cocaine was captured by the Mexican army in the Mexican state of Chiapas. The aircraft was identified as a Cessna 182 with the ID N771SP (Please refer to https://www.wingsherald.com/aircraft-seized-with-450-kilos-of-cocaine-in-chiapas-mexico/)
      According to information currently available this aircraft is registered with de FAA as operated by the Illinois State Police.
      Because of my line of work, as a freelance journalist, is important to clarify this incident in which the name of the IPS is involved. So, on Aug 18, 2019 I initiated an investigation to find out the truth, beginning with an e-mail to Master Sergeant Chris Weidler .
      The response to may e-mail to Master Sargent Chris Weidlesr was as follows:
      “That information is correct. I had a letter signed by our Director verifying that information. I will send it to you as soon as I can get to my computer. May be an hour or so if that is ok. “
      However, Master Sargent Weidler never communicated with me again.

  3. The registration number N771SP is false, that number belongs to an Illinois State Police plane and is in the US at this time. Same with the plane from the story a couple days ago.

    1. I think that's someone's idea of a joke. Using the N number of a law enforcement agency aircraft to run dope in.

    2. Made up number pasted on.

  4. No, not that I have found.
    Could be abandoned, or the pilots were only ordered to leave it there for another pick up/ transport......or I could go out on a limb and suggest it was just a little gift.

    1. Lol Yanqui the military forces were following it, then all of the sudden no one comes out, and it becomes abandoned. Something smells fishy.

  5. The second plane in just a few days! I have a few ideas of what's going on.
    They have an informant, with knowledge of a few loads,routes.
    The increased military presence at the border dealing with immigration, areas normally unpopulated and safe to land in and out of undetected.
    Insufficient bribes to govt officials, military.
    Or like yaqui said, a gift to govt to make it look like they not complicit in trafficking.
