EP 10 Snow On The Palms


Listen Later

Most drug smuggling pilots were eventually caught. Many went to prison, and when they did, they often lost everything they had. But then again, most didn't start with the wealth and connections of a Palm Beach pilot-the rich kid who made a fortune flying drugs into the United states, and then got away.

When pilot George Williams followed his wealthy father to a new home in Palm Beach, what appeared to be a chance encounter at a local airport proved to be a life-changing moment. That's the day he decided to become an international drug smuggler. Later, another apparent chance encounter on a dusty airport in Honduras would eventually provide his "get out of jail free card".

With his piloting skills and his openness to adventure, George Williams has led a charmed life. It's a life story he tells  (under his assumed name) in his book "Snow on the Palms".

"Snow on the Palms" is available on Amazon.
