Haiti was where [[George Morales]] kept a C-47 cargo plane that he donated to the [[Contras]], plus $10,000 for operating costs. The airplane was one of the contributions Morales made after being approached by [[Felipe Vidal]] and [[Marcos Aguado]] to support the Contra war.[^1] ### Caribbean Trafficking Routes Haiti's location in the [[Caribbean]] made it part of the broader network of airfields and transit points used for moving weapons and [[cocaine]] between [[South America]], [[Central America]], and the [[United States]]. Morales's use of a plane stored in Haiti for Contra operations illustrated how the covert war's logistics infrastructure extended throughout the Caribbean basin, overlapping with established drug trafficking routes.[^2] ### Footnotes [^1]: Gary Webb, *Dark Alliance*, Ch. 13.
