Hopsicker connects him to 9-11 and to heroin importation from Afghanistan.

A self-styled Mormon bishop and multi-millionaire flight school businessman and flight school owner who has been linked both to 9-11 and to drug trafficking.

Background

In 1969, Wally Hilliard and Ron Weyers launched Wisconsin Employers Group, an insurance firm. He partnered with Rudi Dekkers to buy Huffman Aviation a few years 9-11. Hilliard had raised the money by selling his healthcare insurance fund in Wisconsin and "retired" to Florida. Hilliard denies that he owned Huffman, stating that "I never had stock ownership. The only thing I did was loan money to Rudi. I got paid back at 30 cents on the dollar." Wally and Rudi had a falling out shortly after 9/11.

Heroin seizure

As owner of Huffman Aviation, Hilliard and so was the owner of a Lear jet that in July 2000 was seized by the DEA after they found 43 pounds of heroin onboard, at that time the biggest seizure of heroin ever found in central Florida. Hilliard maintained he was the "innocent owner" of the plane, and pointed to two other co-owners.

9-11 connection

Hilliard features in Welcome to Terrorland: Mohamed Atta and the 9-11 Cover-Up in Florida, a book by Daniel Hopsicker. Hopsicker notes that three of the 9/11 pilots were trained at Huffman Aviation.

Drug running

Daniel Hopsicker has written that "Wally Hilliard owned jets that flew at least 39 weekly flights into Orlando carrying drugs." Hopsicker alleged further that Mohammad Atta was importing heroin with Hilliard's help, selling Afghanistan's opium and heroin to finance the Taliban, a charge that Hilliard refused a chance to publicly deny.

Connections

It has been reported that Hilliard did business with Myron Du Bain.
