Search by air for marijuana is grower-deterrence method DRUGS From Page 1 to the Nebraska membership. “We are very aware of the drug problem, even in the small towns, and we totally support President Bush’s war on drugs,” Flechs said. Up until now, the Nebraska Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, composed entirely of volunteers, has flown rou tine search and rescue missions, searching for downed aircraft across the state. Capt. Jim Burnett of the Nebraska J State Patrol said the purpose of the program is to locate and eliminate cultivated or wild marijuana that is being tended for harvest. “We are not going after every plant,’’ he said. There are telltale signs of mari juana growth, as seen from the air, but Burnett said descriptions of those signs are “not for release.” He said the Civil Air Patrol Pilots will be trained by the state patrol to recog nize these signs. Burnett said the majority of Ne braska marijuana is grown in the eastern two-thirds of the state. The weed mostly is found on farmland but also can be grown along river banks, he said. nu scare n wax ram must oe oo tained to fly over suspected areas, Burnett said. The Civil Air Patrol will use about a dozen single-engine aircraft for the missions, Anderson said. The planes can use any airport in Nebraska, he said, which gives the patrol a better ability to cover the entire state. According to Anderson, the state patrol will pay all the fuel, operating and maintenance costs for the mis sions. The real value of these missions, Anderson said, is in deterrence. “They (marijuana growers) will know we’re out there peppering the skies. This is a war and we’re treating it as such,” Anderson said.
