From the Logbook...Treasure Chest

For one of my flights today I was asked to take some money to an interior community so that the government workers could be paid. (see above picture with large, padlocked, metal box) I didn't think much of it.  My passengers carried two large trunks with them and when I looked at the trunk weights I realized it was over 300 pounds of cold, hard cash.  I speculated that it was a lot of money, thinking maybe around $150,000-200,000 US dollars.  I was blown out of the water to later learn that I was carrying the equivalent of $1.8 million dollars!  That's right...MILLION...$1.8 million.  I am still blown away.  WOW!
