  • Rick was very smart...I guarantee he was smart enough to know to give the cops just enough to strike a great deal, but not everything that would completely screw him in the end. He earned $1,000,000/week in his smuggling and the authorities only recovered $21,000,000? Yeah he has enough money stashed away to fly to a deserted island, retire, and live a VERY luxurious life. I know that s what I would do.

A cessna 310's gross weight is 4600 pounds and about 100 gallons of fuel. 2000 gallons of fuel would be 12,000 pounds. Just fuel. That's more than some airliners take. You're not going to modify that Cessna to carry 3 times the weight. Your fuel capacity is off. Maybe 200 gallons.

Hopped up or bigger engines, okay, say maybe 30 gallons an hour. 2000 gallons puts that at 66.6 hours of fuel. At 200mph AVERAGE that's 13,320 miles worth of fuel. Or in other terms half way around the world. It's quite literally impossible. Lol it could never carry that much fuel even if the cabin was full of fuel too, to the brim.
