Intercepted two R44 with hachís in Spain
 

This week two R44 were intercepted by Guardia Civil´s helicopters near Sevilla. One with the hachís inside yet (300kg) and the other empty. One pilot was arrested and the other escaped.

Link to the news in spanish:

It seems the pilot flew a bit tight :}

Tutt, Tutt!

That cargo does not look very secure

Would make a great Cheech and Chong movie :D

How "High" were they flying ? :E

Provided he's not over max weight and his weight & balance sheet is filled out correctly, he has nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here! :ok:

500 Fan.

He must be on drugs.

This seems to become popular. Wasn`t there something similar going on about a year ago? I remember that a German pilot was involved. Does anybody know what sentence he was facing?

Using the R44 put the cargo in plain view, they should have squirrelled it away.

Perfectly innocent - he was too scared to fly the robbie unless he took a little hash to settle his nerves. That load was just enough to last a one hour flight.
