It is ridiculous blaming the aircraft. yes the pilot if found guilty deserves to be put away for a long time and this pilots greed and risk taking means he has got his due reward. Especially profiteering on the misery inflicted on many people who are addicted and ruin their lives through that addiction.
So no sympathy for him whatsoever
But consider another scenario where someone makes a malicious call to the police telling them that you were carrying drugs on a trip from abroad. They make this call just to cause you trouble for whatever reason.
Is it right you should have to pay for any rectification work required after an unlicensed examination of the aircraft?
Normally people are innocent until proven guilty.
In either case the aircraft is innocent and like others I feel its a crying shame that something which is considered a work of art and can give pleasure to so many is destroyed
