evergreen also related to CIA DEA and a secret airline
After receiving the long-range C-130 aircraft, Crittenden Air Transport then handled much of the Pacific Rim cargo for the CIA that was formerly handled by Southern Air Transport. These drug-related flights often flew direct from Hong Kong to the United States via Honolulu, often over flying Mexico. Southern Air Transport then confined its operations mostly to Central and South America, until it returned to the Pacific Rim in approximately 1987. When Crittenden shut down his Crittenden Air Transport operation in 1988 the CIA used Evergreen International to take its place. For some reason the Chung family was not satisfied using Evergreen, according to Crittenden, and entered negotiations with him to get back into the operation.
Crittenden went into detail describing the type of cargo he carried, the people he dealt with, and many specifics concerning logistics, fueling, billing, payments, and other data that could only be known by someone in a position held by Crittenden. Most of the loads were either arms or drugs, including heroin from Southeast Asia or cocaine and marijuana from Central and South America. Crittenden explained that other covert proprietary airlines, such as Southern Air Transport and Evergreen, also carried similar loads for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Good find. . . adding that to the Evergreen entry in the LexiQon plus the info that it has gone bankrupt as of December 31, 2013. Giving you credit. Thanks.
