    Privately funded projects on the North Coast

    I have heard nothing about the Cabarete bypass. Perhaps Leo's path in to the Bombita area where he will build housing for La Cienagans? Otherwise I have not heard anything yet on that new work. Could be just another new devleopment. Lots of land there. There was also a recent clearing of a...

    Air Cocaine story airs on Netflix

    If the US government prosecutor was better than the French prosecutor, then they might still be in jail. Most private plane pilots will never be caught flying drugs since they don't use major airports...

    True-life drama of cocaine smuggling draws local attention

    Is a documentay considered art? This story was not fiction but rather a portrayal that took a lot of time to put together based upon the best possible information the makers of it could discover. Nobody makes vast amounts of money littering like they do from bottom to top regarding drugs, and...

    Air Cocaine story airs on Netflix

    The French investigation was a significant part of the documentary and why they were put in jail in France for a time until acquitted upon appeal. It showed the same passenger on three different similar flights for the fellow that did not escape and probably is still in the DR. I think the...

    Air Cocaine story airs on Netflix

    But, the pilot is not required to check the bags. Not a surprise in this case that that the pilot would not even give a brief thought to screeing it himself. And that is the reason they were acquitted. It is fascinating to learn the world of people that have private flights. I don't think I...
