USA: Flying too high on ecstasy

NEW YORK: A US military pilot and a master sergeant each face 20 years in prison after pleading guilty yesterday to charges they flew a US air force jet from New York to Germany to pick up 300,000 pills of ecstasy.

Captain Franklin Rodriguez, 36, and Master Sergeant John Fong, 37, of the US Air National Guard entered pleas to conspiracy charges in a US court, admitting their roles in the April 2005 flight.

As part of his plea, Rodriguez agreed to forfeit $A952,000 in cash found in a safe in his apartment, a 2001 silver BMW and $A65,000 he had deposited to buy a property in New York. He admitted the money came from drug sales.
