About this title

Storyline

-Raymond Boulanger is at the Montréal airport (in Canada). He's getting ready to leave the country and return to Colombia, after more than twenty years in jail and six years of conditional release. On the last day of his probation, afflicted with cancer, he reveals several secrets about his experience as a mercenary pilot. From the CIA to Pablo Escobar, from the deserts of Libya to the Cali Cartel, from Iran to Belgium, no Canadian has a similar tale to tell. A foolhardy pilot and seasoned businessman, Raymond Boulanger has experienced countless adventures. The most famous of which is the "Casey flight". In November 1992, after an eight-hour flight full of challenges from Colombia, Raymond Boulanger makes a clandestine landing on the tiny runway of the Casey airport in Northern Quebec. On board, he has four tons of cocaine, valued at over two billion dollars. However, contrary to the plan, his accomplices aren't waiting for him at the end of the runway. What's supposed to be his last flight becomes a nightmare: in addition to losing his freedom, he loses the multi-million reward that he was promised for the operation. Despite it all, the pilot kept a smile on his face. A true gentleman, he made an impression with a memorable wink during his first media encounter. Boulanger managed to keep his cool because he's been through much more intense, more traumatic adventures before. In fact, the events of November 18, 1992 are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to John Raymond Boulanger's rocky past.
