   Barry Seal Evades Detection of Flight Path by Defense Satellites

[The following excerpt recounts a flight Terry Reed took with Barry
Seal and is taken from *Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA*, by
Terry Reed and John Cummings, Shapolsky Publishers, 1994.]

        The white Lear was airborne and heading south at 10 AM with
"Emile Camp" at the controls and Barry Seal on the radio.  Once on
their flight  plan, and in Mexican airspace, at a ruising altitude of
35,000 feet, Seal went to the rear of the aircraft, grabbed two pilot
map cases and dragged them to the front.  These were the same type of
cases Terry had seen earlier in Seal's Aero Commander that blew the
engine in Texarkana.  Inside were custom aluminum boxes containing
sophisticated electronics, some of which Terry recognized.

        "GNS-500s. Damn, those things used to cost a half-million
apiece and you've got two?"

        "Nuthin' but the best when you're workin' for Uncle," Seal
quipped. "And these ain't your normal 500's.  They're modified to do
"special" things. With these babies, we can not only pinpoint our
position via satellite within about 10 meters, we can find the window
to the Bermuda Triangle.  That takes accuracy, son."

        GNS-500s are navigational radios that continuously read the
aircraft's position in latitude and longitude via digital readouts.
This, coupled with their capability of storing and processing complex
flight plans and denoting wind speeds at various altitudes, and
determining ground tracks would give the jet the ability to fly
without making contact with ground controllers.  Earlier in his
aviation training, Terry had attended an advanced navigation class in
St. Louis, which taught the operation of this system, but he never
thought he would see two of them worth more than $1 million in the
same portable box.  This was the same type of sophisticated navigation
system aboard the Korean 747 airliner, Flight 007, shot down by a
Soviet MIG in September, 1983.  That aircraft had only one GPS (Global
Positioning System).  Seal had two to guarantee pinpoint navigation
accuracy.

        Under the control panel on the co-pilot's side, Red Hall had
installed a secret power buss that Seal accessed with a jumper cable
to power the GNS-500s.  With another jack, Seal connected the
antennas, hidden within the fuselage of the plane, to the radios in
the box making everything operational.

        Terry sat in awe as he watched while Seal removed a piece of
aper from his shirt pocket and punched in the coordinates of the
entire flight plan.

        "OK, I'll just hook up the ground and satellite communications
equipment in this other box and it'll be time for us to 'disappear',"
Seal chuckled.

        As he opened the second box, Terry saw an array of electronics
and radios with ultra-high radio frequency ranges totally foreign to
him.  On a sticker in the middle of the control panel was a service
note, saying: "Direct all service inquiries to Summit Aviation,
Middleton, Delaware."

        . . . What Seal was preparing to do was to "blind" a
Department of Defense satellite designed as a sentry to give advance
warning of incoming hostile weapons systems.  This would provide a
window through which the Lear could fly through undetected.  At the
same time, Seal said, secret military surveillance tracking stations
manned by U.S. Army intelligence personnel would emit large bursts of
energy to jam the U.S. and Mexican ATC radar.

        Terry felt he was seeing the results of all the Star Wars
counter-measures technology.  This, he now realized, was how Seal's
Operation Jade Bridge aircraft, codenamed Dodger, had been able to
enter and leave the United States without being detected.  If there
had ever been a doubt in Terry's mind about who Seal was, and how high
he was connected, it had been put to rest forever.  Seal got his
flight plan authorizations not from someone on the ground, like most
pilots, but from satellites out in space.
