While talking about the "Toy Box." I did a little work on this and the owner promised we'd take it around to air shows. It had a fascinating history. Originally registered to the CIA, then operated by the World's largest cocaine smuggler. We had photos of it in SE Asia with Air to Ground munitions, and photos of it full of cocaine, even pictures of folks on it mooning the DEA (back then they could not shoot it down, but they could run anything the DEA down to min fuel). I was planning a heck of a story board:

The previous owner who used it for drug running was this guy:

Drug Smuggler- Rik Luytjes

Not to glamorize that sort of thing. But the airplane was purpose built for shenanigans. 350 feet was plenty to get 3,000+ lbs of payload aloft and fly it at 200+ knots for over 1,000 miles. Used, illegally, it made Central America to Scranton PA, non stop. It was a very capable airplane, but had some quirks. Unfortunately the owner sold it ... would have been fun to load up ten friends & head down to the islands in.

As you can see, the main gear hang low in flight and have a lot of travel. When landing the wheels would physically be on the ground, but it would definitely still be flying. As sold to the CIA, there was no lock out for Beta on the prop. Getting it into reverse while still 3 feet in the air would result in the airplane trying to swap ends.

If I won the lottery, I would be making some phone calls to see if the current owner wants to sell. It is about the most useful, fun, relatively cheap to operate war-bird I know of.
