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
