Many Moons ago (as Rush would say) I was chief Pilot for a cargo outfit flying 3 DC-3s plus a stable of other types.
We tried to buy 3 C-123’s from Davis Monthan.
We went out there inspected the aircraft ,had the ferry permits in hand as well as a certified check. At the last moment they refused to sell us the aircraft.
When pushed for a reason, the guy said they thought the C-123’s were going to be used in the drug trade. even though we had a sterling reputation.
We bought 2 Casa’s instead.....
