Well, that is a funny story. Melbo is so burried in those Tennesee hills that we didn't find him until we were right on top of him, so my Pilot did an immediate hard right hand turn around his place. Now the radar is under the aircraft, so in that tight of turn, you are not getting what's directly beneath you and I kept getting comments like, "What is the border patrol doing here" and "Hey, I don't have my green card" When I talked to Melbo, he said that some "construction" workers near by were also out there around him, I think he is using that cheap labor on the sly! We did get to do a circle around his house and got to see the flag on his roof. Two monkeys down, couple hundred more to go!
That's actually a funny thing. A cabin is being built right down the street... After the second pass I heard a lot of truck doors slam and 3 vehicles leave at a pretty fast clip. I think a truckload of illegals took off and a few guys with a "bag" under the seat... Dark unmarked Helo circling... I think they figured it was DEA... Very Cool S!!! Thanks. You made our day. I had 7 here to watch and everyone ran around front when we heard the thunder.
