^Maybe it's just me, but the sound is worse that my worst old LP.
Is there a transcript?
There is more interesting and controversial stuff out there, that's not here.
iT MUST JUST BE ME. i'LL HAVE TO GIVE A REHEARING.
You nailed it (cut to the chase?) right there Kev. Drug harvesting and dealing is intrinsically a pretty boring activity, probably only superceded in yawn factor by defending the culprits in the courts, though given the right (or wrong) clientele, it can raise the heart rate a few notches.

Nothing new, but the piece was well done, a good listen, and I bet it took less than 10 years to put together.

At first this thread was entertaining and had some good content. But for the past SEVERAL F*#KING YEARS that's not the case. I'm so tired of this stupid thread that I hope that the book never does come out although it's probably a moot point since only about 15 people will read the turd anyway.
Die thread die.

1985
SAN DIEGO, March 18— Two Peruvians accused of controlling a fifth of the cocaine entering the United States have been arrested, the Federal authorities said today.
...
The indictment alleged the cartel had outlets for distribution throughout the United States, including San Diego; Los Angeles; San Francisco; Dallas; Miami; Sun Valley, Idaho; Portland, Ore.; New York City; Atlanta; Hawaii and Agana, Guam.
Did any climbers use cocaine? Did any climbers send themselves or their kids to school with the proceeds of cocaine deals?
Send all comments to United States Attorney Peter Nunez.
*Disclaimer. I knew an indictee and the defense attorney, but I am receiving no money from this public service notice.

Bump for an update.
Any chance I can get three signed copies for Christmas this year?

The answer may lay deep within the bowels of this thread but I refuse to read whole thing looking for it. My question- was there an N-number associated with the plane?
I recently came across a photo of a Lockheed Lodestar that was stolen from Washington State circa 1974 and wondered if that might be the one. Anybody?

It wasn't a Lodestar and the NTSB report is readily available.
A Howard 500 that flew over my crib a year or two ago...
There might be a half dozen in existence.

Really? Heck, I thought it was a Lodestar all these years. On a related note there's a Lodestar being rebuilt here in the NW that I can't wait to see fly again. Not many of them around these days.

hurt the sport of climbing
ruin peoples reputations
may put sombody in jail
enrage law enforcement who will now view climbers as criminals
dont even know these people
encourage young people to screw up
help noone
Here's a novel idea.
Behave like responsible citizens and the issues go away.

The paint job is slightly different from what it looked like when "they" flew it. The company that did the paint job did not keep photos of their work which I find amazing. The nose was white as was the underside, but the striping was the same

So, after ten years, a couple thousand thread entries, and unknown numbers of contacts outside this thread, R Licky, the world's expert on this whole Lodestar business, finally noticed that someone actually published a book five years ago, with gasp, apparently inaccurate information? (see author's reply from Feb 23, 2015)
Until you prove otherwise, I'm accepting the gospel according to "Valley Uprising", especially when your exhaustive research leads you to ask openly in this forum on Jun 8, 2015 the highly technical, secret information, "During the winter of 1976/77, is there anyone that thinks it might have been possible for a couple of guys to have made it up to the lake on snowmobiles?" Duh, like asked and answered a few dozen times already in these damnable posts.
Unsuspecting newbies here should abandon ship in all haste, or else get tied to the white whale that is promised to soon be Mr Licky's literary masterwork.
Once a government conspiracy theory arises, all hope for veracity is lost. Insinuating cover-ups for god-knows-what eight years before Ollie's Iran-Contra debacle makes you all kinds of buddies in the Paranoic's Buyer's Club but it is never going to pass for journalism.
But hey we already know there's no book anyway, so keep trolling, faster, faster, as that bait's smellin' awfully old and rotten.

Well the way I see it, someone, or more correctly some group, got either great and/or perverse pleasure some 2407 times out of participating in this thread.
Is the book, should it ever come out, now a sequel?
As far as I know, nobody has died from it.
