How does one go from flight instructor to drug importer? A bandit to some, a legend to others, Raymond Boulanger is a mercenary pilot who has left his mark on Quebec aviation. Born to fly airplanes, he took the plunge and multiplied his exploits - often risking his life. Virtuoso and intrepid, he's tailor-made for clandestine missions as perilous as they are lucrative. In this documentary, Raymond Boulanger tells his own story: from sitting on his father's knee in the cockpit above Mont-Joli, Quebec, to becoming the pilot at the centre of what has been called the biggest drug bust in Canadian history, a case spanning two continents, a dramatic plane chase, and up to a billion dollars' worth of cocaine. Raised by a Scottish war bride and a war-hero father who got his start as a Prohibition-era bootlegger, Boulanger earned his DC-3 captain's check at just 21. But his appetite for risk came at a cost. A fatal crash left him with shattered bones and a friend dead, and a raging 1971 Quebec forest fire stranded him and five American hunters in the wilderness for 13 days. Then came the offer that changed everything: clandestine night flights over the jungles of Southeast Asia during the final years of the Vietnam War, followed by low-level marijuana runs from Mexico and Colombia's La Guajira peninsula alongside battle-hardened Vietnam veteran pilots. Featuring interviews with Boulanger himself, his former flight instructor, his ex-wife, his lawyers and the investigators who pursued him, this is a raw, unfiltered portrait of a bush pilot turned mercenary, a smuggler who claims ties to black operations, Pablo Escobar and the CIA, and a man who insists he has no regrets.
