From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Two points: 1) Terry Burke was over the Tucson DEA operation when the file on Ark. chicken magnate Don Tyson was opened. A restaurateur in Tucson (his name escapes me) was fronting a cocaine-smuggling operation. Tyson was alleged to be the supplier. Tyson is said to have used some rather unorthodox means of transporting his cargo. When I began researching my second book, "Circle of Death: Clinton's Climb to the Presidency" (Huntington House 1995), I interviewed a woman named Frances, who lived in a very nice house next door to Barry Seal's former "hideout" between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. She had bought the place from Seal, and it was adjacent to his landing strip. Frances was a pilot. She was initially attracted to the beautiful riverside location because of its proximity to the airstrip. One day Frances related a strange story to me. She said that Barry had landed "The Fat Lady" on the strip early one morning, and a few minutes later she heard the neighing of horses. She went out on her sun deck and looked across the gravel road to the airstrip. She saw 5 or 6 horses grazing next to the plane. A few minutes later the horses were herded back into the plane, and it took off. Tyson's DEA file notes that he was believed to have smuggled cocaine into the country in horses. The timing -- 1983 -- is about right. 2) Why do people keep saying the C 123 K on which Hasenfus was traveling, and which crashed in the jungle in Honduras in 1986 (I think that's the year), was "Barry Seal's plane"? It was not. Moreover, if I'm not completely mistaken (and I may be on this point) I believe the N number was traceable to a Ft. Lauderdale aircraft dealer.
