Thats some pretty impressive technology and probably well worth the $15 million.

Yeah, well. The Dude abides.
That is some great stuff. I am actually writing a final paper on what we should do to keep fighting drug trafficking and this will be in there.
On a side note, I will still do poorly because the prof is a total hippie. On her office is a large sign that says "end the drug war." I can't win...

No one can, hence the reason the drug war will forever be a budgetary drain. If the government could find a way to legalize weed and tax it en mass, it would be legal in a heartbeat.
Hard drugs, on the other hand, are a totally different story.
Our new MPA (the HC144) is advertised to have the same type of sensor and data link capabilities. It's just a little newer and the kinks to all the fancy bells and whistles are still getting ironed out.
Seventh Aircraft Delivery Release
Makes him feel "operational"
The customs dudes act like they feel naked without their sidearms. The guys in corpus were the same way...9's at their sides even when they were buttoning up a P-3...
If they are Special Agents I believe they are required to wear them when on duty.
They are required to wear them on duty. It's part of the badge-and-gun Federal Agent law enforcement thing. Seems silly from the outside, but it's all designed so that the busts made stand up in court.
Not to threadjack, but that article on the HC-144 mentioned it was built by EADS in Spain. How did the CG get around all the Buy American stuff that's giving the AF tanker project such heartburn?

There's a loooooooooooonnnnnnngggg story on that one based on rumors and speculation.
I was surprised that we didn't follow suit with CBP and get Dash-8's as well since we are in the same department doing basically the same missions. It would make the transition over a lot smoother but I don't get paid the big bucks that the acquisition people get to sit behind a desk and make those big time decisions.
Yea, foreign aircraft, but look at the HU25 that the HC144 is replacing....a French built aircraft.
Coasties love their eurotrash aircraft...
Dauphin, Falcon, HC-144...

I saw that aircraft at PNS not too long ago. It looked pretty clean I must say.
