flashback

Damien fills in some of the gaps in the comments
Not directly related, but part of the same broad sweep of criminality and drug dealing that goes way back: Barry Seal (next to Goss in the photo) was a CIA drug dealer from Iran Contra. Wally Hilliard ended up with his plane. Wally was drug trafficking through Huffman Aviation (which trained Atta). Also housed at Huffman Aviation was a plane owned by SkyWay Aircraft (connected to Brent C Kovar - appointed to the Business Advisory Council of the NRCC in 2003 by Tom Delay - and to the Bushes). This was recently apprehended in Mexico with 5.5 tons of cocaine and painted up to look like a Homeland Security aircraft.

According to Hopsicker it now seems there's a second plane involved and furious paper shuffling and retrospective ownership changes are taking place to distance the cocaine haul from Kovar and Skyway Aircraft.

It'll never make the front page anywhere.
