Recent incidents involving Arizona airports have cast a spotlight on the issue of narcotics smuggling using small aircrafts, with two arrests made after a small plane was forced to land on a California freeway and found to contain cocaine. According to AZ Family, the plane, which took off from Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, encountered engine failure and took an unplanned dive down to State Route 76 in Oceanside, California; the incident not only prompting a swift response from local law enforcement but also uncovering the presence of 2.2 pounds of cocaine aboard.
