Flying for the CIA's Air America, Pablo Escobar, and Jimmy Hoffa

In 1964, Captain Neil Graham Hansen embarked on a journey that would become the adventure of a lifetime. He hired on as a pilot for Air America, the CIA's airline that operated during the Vietnam era and the "Secret War" in Laos and Cambodia — officially neutral countries, but the scene of countless U.S. covert operations. Even though he had already been a pilot for more than half his life, had worked as now-disappeared Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa's private pilot, and later ran drugs for the Colombian cartels, flying for the CIA's secret air service was the pinnacle of Hansen's career — a dream come true that eventually turned his life into a nightmare.

Air America's operations were unknown. Its schedules were irregular. Its pilots were shadow people, whose personnel, Hansen says, "cannot be filed neatly under anything resembling normal sanity." It was the world of spooks, covert air ops, and adventure!
