Turning Final — Michael James

Turning Final...one of the last radio calls every pilot uses on his final approach. Except of course when that runway is carved from the jungle on a Colombian hillside and never when he has 750 pounds of Bolivian cocaine in the belly of the plane. Emilio Cruz is a Mexican turned Cuban wheeler dealer Miami business man on a mission to make his ship finally come in. His semi success in semi legitimate business deals has finally helped him purchase one twelfth of a spectacular airplane. On board also is the pilot with no name and a hit man known only as 'Poco' put there by Cruz's money man. When they leave the last windswept Bahamian outpost west of Africa for Ft. Lauderdale on a rainy night, their brilliant plan is finally put into place. Little do they know that their final approach to big money would be complicated by a hard hitting cowboy named Doc and his Seminole friend Jake.
