Honduras—and much of Central America—was in turmoil in 1987, and some might argue that conditions have not improved much since. I was sent to Palmerola Air Base to provide weather support for our missions in Honduras. The Iran-Contra affair was still unfolding, and Swan Island was reportedly being used as a transit point for CIA weapons shipments and humanitarian aid bound for Honduras. My time there off...
