Kundry you are being unfair to 'a certain operator'. As far as I know the Aerostar (HFY) was never on the books. I think it had some maintenance completed there. The Baron (BKA) was used for training but sold on to a new operator who then did the drug run. Conspiracy theories don't do 'a certain operator' any favours and are unwarranted.
Out of interest I witnessed the arrest of the Aerostar miscreants. The aircraft circled the field which I thought was unusual and then after landing parked next to me on the grass. The boys and girls of blue appeared from nowhere in unmarked black SUV's and quickly surrounded the aircraft. Within minutes they were all zip tied and sitting under the wing looking a little dejected. Pretty obvious a tip off somewhere.
Interesting to see the aircraft of choice, both fast but neither can outrun a phone call.
