"Mercenary Pilot: From CIA to Cartels" follows the astonishing life of Raymond Boulanger, a former pilot once affiliated with U.S. intelligence-linked operations, who later became involved in one of Canada's largest drug trafficking cases—over three tons of cocaine valued at more than a billion dollars. Initially flying missions tied to covert military efforts during the Vietnam War, Boulanger grew disillusioned with the ethical dimensions of his work and eventually entered the illicit drug trade, piloting flights connected to major Colombian trafficking networks. The series traces his high-stakes missions, near-fatal crashes, brushes with law enforcement, and narrow escapes, portraying him as a thrill-driven, highly skilled, yet morally complex individual. It also examines the vast scale of the global narcotics trade, its geopolitical overlaps, and the dangers surrounding smuggling operations—ultimately leading to Boulanger’s arrest in a remote Quebec town and imprisonment in one of Canada's most secure correctional facilities.
