the word Boeing shouldn't be there at all... my guess is that the frogs put it there just to have Boeing and drugs in the same sentence

A Boeing plane that used to transport cocaine from Venezuela to West Africa crashed in northern Mali earlier this month after a failed take-off, the representative of the UN's regional office on drugs and crime said Monday.

Man, that really gonna piss off Chavez!
This article was written using poor grammer. It should read:
Venezuelan Boeing Used to Cargo Drugs Crashes in Mali, According to UN Reports.
That will teach Boeing to build an airplane that can carry drugs!

Whoa! Wonder whick way the wind blew the cloud? We may have rampaging elephants, chimps and black mombas!
“Driving that plane, high on cocaine. Casey Jones you better watch your speed”
Signed, Jerry Garcia, well known heroin addict.
Boeing what? And why is the manufacturer even an issue? Also, 10 tons is not a large cargo for a airliner of any size.

A real smuggler would have used a DC-3, Lockheed Lodestar or a Twin Beech.
Give me a “tail dragger” any day.
OCTOBER 27, 2003 : (REPORT : AL QAEDA IS BUILDING BASES IN THE SAHARA; INCLUDING MALI) MADRID, Oct 27, 2003 (United Press International via COMTEX) — Al-Qaida is building secret bases in the Sahara in north Africa with the help of Algerian extremists, Western and Arab intelligence sources said Monday. The Spanish daily Periodico De Catalonia quoted the sources as saying the Sahara, stretching between Mauritania and southern Libya, has become a base for al-Qaida.
“The desert of Mali, especially in the north, and the area near the Algerian border has become a base and meeting point for al-Qaida members who have fled from the Middle East region,” an Algerian source said.
“We know that many things were taking place in the Sahara which is under the loose control of the Algerian and Libyan armies and the armed forces of weak countries like Niger, Mauritania and Mali,” a U.S. diplomat said. Intelligence services of countries in the region have spotted an influx of Arab militants from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan and believe Algerian extremist groups were facilitating their relocation in the Sahara. - “Al-Qaida bases said to be in Sahara,” United Press International, 10-27-03
Donta worrrry, 0banana will bail’em out!
It’s 1900 and my tail’s draggin but I don’t think a DC-3 would have the capability to haul a load of coke across the Atlantic fron Venezuela unless the Gooney had pontoons and was being refueld on the water by some barge in the mid-Atlantic. Humm. Now there’s an idea for some entrepeneur.
A DC-3 can definitely make it from Santa Marta to South Florida without refueling. So can a Lockheed Lodestar. Trust me on that.
