Phil, how much added fuel capacity could be realistically added to a Cessna 310 with the engines upgraded to the best that can be fit? I'm sure you are right to guess the numbers presented in this show are off quite a bit. The distance traveled is pretty long for a non stop flight in that model of airplane. It would be difficult but not impossible, right?

At 3300lbs dry weight add 200-500lbs for modifications coming to 3500-3800lbs. Now take his rough wieght say 180lbs all in he would be with fuel himself plane and 800lbs of coke, he would look at 6300-6600lbs. 800-1100lbs over max takeoff weight.

You're right, and the gov never learned from the lessons of history, ie prohibition era. When you say something is now illegal, it automatically creates a huge opportunity for organised crime to supply it as the demand and marketplace for it will never go away no matter what laws are passed or what gov policy is.. rather than trying to criminalise drugs, the gov should have said we need to take control of this industry and tax it, the same way they did with alcohol. That would have been much more successful and profitable for the gov! And it would have put the cartels if not out of business on major drugs like cocaine and heroin, it would have reduced the size of their market and activities.

Some information is inaccurate. The guy says this plane holds 2000 gallons and increases it to 6000 gallons. That's absolutely impossible. A Cessna 310 or equivalent starts out with maybe 134 gallons including the tip tank fuel. Adding another 166 gallons only gets you about 12 plus hours of flying at 220 miles per hour. The normal gross weight of this plane is about 5500 lbs. (100 low lead gas weighs 6 lbs. per gallon.) A turbo charged 310 would be better allowing flight at 18,000 feet with better true airspeeds and fuel economy. I'm only through the first ten minutes of the video, thou!

That and they have to control the amount comming in. Keep its value high. If everyone could bring it in. If it was legal. If you could produce it. It would have no value. There would be no crime. Just alot of crack heads and coke addicts

How do you know he was the most successful smuggler? Maybe there’s someone out there that hasn’t been caught so therefore more successful.

FYI a Cessna 310 doesn’t carry 2,000 gallons of fuel. Depending on year and model they carry between 100 and 127 ( 650-825lbs as we use in the jet world) gallons stock. I’ve owned 3. No I’m not “that guy” just want pointing that out for reference on actual fuel capacity in a 310. Thanks for the vid, I love this stuff!

The 310 with mains and auxes plus two 20 gallon locker tanks will make 1643 sm. Anything over 300 dope lbs plus pilot and it's over gross.

Air America was an American passenger and cargo airline established in 1946 and covertly owned and operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from 1950 to 1976. It supplied and supported covert operations in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, including providing support for drug smuggling in Laos.

I think someone made a mistake concerning fuel capability. At 9:10 the gentleman said the 310 owner switched from 2,000 gal tanks to 6,000 tanks. The Cessna 310 came with tank capacities varying between 102 to 203 gals. The 310 with 203 gal fuel tanks had a range of 1400 miles, if you flew at high altitude. If you doubled the tankage from 203 to 406, (which would put you 283 lbs over gross weight without loading any drugs) you could cruise to 2800 miles. No where near the distance from Scranton PA to Columbia. There’s a whole lot not adding up in this story. Anybody have any additional info ? Thanks and cheers from a fellow pilot.

Hello, yeah I got that too, 2000 gals to 6000, either he didnt know about the matter or he just mention some figures. You got a good point there but , how do they ferry a 310 to, lets say Hawaii?. And about the weight, I would think it matter much to him, of course, to certain point, and fingers crossed he didnt have an eng failure, specially during T/O. Cheers

@@MachTuck if you had enough takeoff runway length, and you installed much higher HP engines, (which he did) you could be severely overloaded and still get off the ground and climb.

Well spotted. Good to have someone watching who knows their stuff about planes! Could he have made re-fuelling stops along his route? Having a plane massively overweight even before you loaded any drugs doesn't sound like a good thing to do! Even if this guy was not on the radar of DEA and US authorities as a smuggler or not subject to any drugs checks, having a massively overweight plane unsafe to fly? would certainly raise alarm bells..surely planes have to be safety checked and signed off in US by independent orgs before you can fly them?

What I do not get is that in the U.S. you can find cocaine anywhere, in every city, every town. The only way to have such an amount of distribution is if the government is doing it. There is no way that illegal smugglers can bring so much.

America is a such a large country it's impossible to guard and monitor every inch of its borders and air space 24/7...for every shipment they intercept, probably 3 or more get in. Case in point, the Southern border, if over a million immigrants from Mexico can enter US illegally in a couple of years of Biden administration you know US border control is failing badly and drugs are far easier to smuggle than people! For the drugs cartels, losses and captures are expected. I have heard that some cartels even setup decoys like smaller shipments that they intend to be seized so the DEA thinks its succeeding and that keeps them happy, but meanwhile the cartel does its bigger shipments using other routes. There is a lot of corruption too in US, not as bad as Mexico but it's well known to exist..undercover cops and dirty cops have seen the money in drugs and seize shipments for themselves or never fully report seizures...some entire police forces in some areas were corrupt.. and no doubt a few DEA agents..but for the most part, the US agencies and gov remained un-corrupted as it's a wealthy country with tough laws on drugs. Unlike the scale of corruption in poor countries like Columbia and Mexico where corruption went right to the upper levels of government and military as the cartels had more money than the government during the 80s and 90s enough to pay off the national debts of both countries. The average cop chief or gov official was earning so little money compared to those in the drugs biz they just went onto the payrolls of the cartels, better to take a bribe than be dead or your family at risk.

Basically, don’t get greedy!!
