I've watched 2 of the 3 episodes of the documentary The Invisible Pilot so far. Somehow I completely missed the story of Gary Betzner growing up. It's been a complicated watch so far. The story itself is amazing - and I haven't even gotten to the 3rd ep which focuses on his ties to the Iran-Contra stuff. But the dude went from hippie type (free love/drugs) to saying he was doing a service to mankind in bringing illegal drugs to the US and that Pablo Escobar is a legend, both as a smuggler and human being. Ugh.

It's definitely fascinating seeing him and his former wife, both from a small Arkansas town, act so differently than one would expect. He's obviously much older now, but it's weird seeing this old dude talk so openly about doing coke and other drugs.

Anyway, it's an interesting story and only about a 3 hour total watch.
