Plumlee claimed that in November, 1963, he was a co-pilot on a top secret flight supported by the CIA to try to stop the JFK Assassination.[3][4]
He testified in 2004 that "When I later learned that Oswald had been arrested as the lone assassin, I remembered having met him on a number of previous occasions which were connected with intelligence training matters."[5]
Later activities
He also flew various loads of weapons and drugs in the 1980s as part of the cabal's cocaine trafficking, usually paid $5000/flight, in cash. In an interview with FOX News, he stated that "The United States government played both ends against the middle. We were running guns. We were running drugs. We were using the drug money to finance the gun running operation."[3][1]
Plumlee made at least 3 flights landing unmarked C-130 cargo carriers painted dark green late at night at military installations. He states that he never learned the identity of the men who unloaded his planes, but noted that they were dressed just as he was, in civilian attire, and had long hair. Plumlee says he guesses they could have easily passed for drug dealers. But was pretty sure that they were not military, but assumed that they were CIA, as he was.[6]
Activism
In his old age, Plumlee has been more willing than most to share his life story, and has given interviews to interested parties.[6]
