CIA Plane in Big
Aussie-American Heroin Bust

"Newly-obtained FAA registration records reveal that the
American "mystery plane" busted this July with 35 kilos of
heroin at an airport outside Sydney, Australia was a CIA plane.
At least, it had been when it rolled off the assembly line 40 years
earlier, courtesy a CIA deal with the U.S. Forest Service. And
the CIA never sells off its planes.
FAA registration records show it was commissioned by U.S. Forest
Service in an operation to "sheep-dip" CIA planes in the
early 70's from aircraft manufacturer Swearingen in San Antonio, part
of an through the U.S. Forest Service.
"Sheep-dip" is spook-speak for concealing the source
or true ownership of something, or, at the very least, hiding it from
Congress. When the plane was ordered, the CIA was merely
anticipating Congressional calls for reining in the CIA, through
(tellingly) forcing the Agency to divest its proprietary
airlines.
"The Australian announcement that a global cartel was
moving planes like chess pieces across a chessboard the size of the
Outback led some to hope that the American Drug Lords might
finally achieve overdue recognition."
