Frank Moss
Pilot and owner of Hondu Carib Cargo who flew FDN supply missions while under investigation for narcotics offenses by ten law enforcement agencies.
Frank Moss was a pilot and the owner of Hondu Carib Cargo, an air cargo company hired by the FDN to fly supplies to the Contras.1 Moss was identified in a 1989 Senate report as having "been investigated, although never indicted, for narcotics offenses by ten different law enforcement agencies."
Drug Trafficking and Contra Supply
The report said Moss flew FDN supply missions for both Hondu Carib Cargo and a Honduran air freight company called SETCO, which was owned by Honduras's biggest drug trafficker, Juan Matta Ballesteros. One DC-4 Moss used to ferry Contra supplies was seized by the DEA in March 1987 on a suspected drug run off Florida's coast. Aboard the plane was marijuana residue and Moss's notes which, according to a CIA cable, contained "the names of two CIA officers and their telephone numbers." Also found was the phone number of Robert Owen, Oliver North's courier in Central America.1
