When we first arrived in Mena, Arkansas, we kept hearing stories about a drug and gun smuggling operation that took place in the 1980s, out of the Mena Intermountain Municipal Airport. We decided to look into those stories, and WOW did this one turn into something much bigger! So this week, rather than show our usual RV travel video, we decided to share this amazing story with you. So grab your popcorn, sit back, and hopefully you find this intriguing story as interesting as we did!
