"The Reagan administration denied any connection to him"
(no shit?)
Eugene Hasenfus is yet another pawn in the CIA bullshit of the 1980s. I think its interesting to note that he was captured while sleeping in a hammock made from his parachute. He probably learned that at a JEST course in the PI as a Marine. He was Marine infantry for several years then became airborne qualified, and a parachute rigger trained at the Army Quartermaster school at ft. Lee Virginia.He was an air delivery specialist and knew his way around parachutes. He also had 6 years prior experience with Air America in Laos as a "kicker".
Eugene H. Hasenfus is a former United States Marine who helped fly weapons shipments on behalf of the U.S. government to the right wing Contra mercenaries in Nicaragua. He was the sole survivor after his plane was shot down by the Nicaraguan government in 1986, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison for terrorism and other charges, but pardoned and released the same year. The statements he made to the Sandinista government resulted in a controversy in the U.S. government, after the Reagan administration denied any connection to him.
On October 5, 1986, Hasenfus was aboard a Fairchild C-123 cargo plane, N4410F, when it was shot down over Nicaragua by the Sandinista government. The plane had been flying weapons to the anti-Sandinista Contra rebels.
Three members of the flight crew were killed: Hasenfus was the only survivor. The two pilots and a Nicaraguan radio operator died in the crash. Hasenfus had been wearing a parachute, unusual for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives at the time.
Hasenfus managed to dive out of the open cargo hatch of the plane after it was hit by the Nicaraguan missile; he was later captured while sleeping in a makeshift hammock made from his parachute.
