So are iguanas, desert tortoises and just about any thing else that creeps or crawls, officials say. Federal and state officials who patrol Arizona’s bor ders don’t keep tabs on their living hauls the way they keep a count of kilos and bales they seize, but consider the numbers in two recent cases: • On July 28, 1987, the U.S. Border Patrol seized 3,000 iguanas and several hundred tarantulas that were being smuggled into the United States through No gales, Mexico. • On March 23, the U.S. Customs Service confis cated 1,600 tarantulas and 500 iguanas from a pickup truck as it tried to cross the border. “We’re not seeing a vast amount cross the border,” Tom McDermott, agent in charge for the customs of fice in Tucson, said. “It’s just in the course of our nor mal customs-type of exams.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Reese Bostwick, who is pros ecuting Jorge Manuel Martinez-Quintero in the March 23 incident, says there is a real market out there for al most anything that is rare, even when it would make most people’s flesh crawl. Bostwick, who handled wildlife cases for the Pima County attorney’s office before switching to the federal prosecutor’s office, recalls trailer home bedrooms where walls were lined with reptile cases and closets held canvas bags full of poisonous snakes. “There’s big bucks involved,” Bostwick added, saying tarantulas go for $1.25 each while Gila monsters can sell for $50 to $75 apiece and the endangered twin-spotted rattlesnake fetches $ 100 to $ 150. Although traffic in endangered or protected species “Anytime you conceal something j | bring it across the border and don’t, dare it, you are violating a generalsmi, I glingstatute. ” — Tom McDemti I customs officeagm such as 18 types of iquanas is a special focus of; agencies as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,ci; common species can draw the attention of cuj agents. “Anytime you conceal something and bring it J the border and don’t declare it, you are violating)! eral smuggling statute,” McDermott says. That’s true even when the item is duty-fret added, citing laws on declaring currency andjeweli Smuggling of endangered species and their pdj a bigger concern in the 1970s, but drugs provides ger margin of profit and it’s going to take just asij room to smuggle in a tarantula as a more-profrj amount of cocaine, he adds. Still, officers tend to jump back a few feet when] open a box that looks as though it could contain;] but find a boa constrictor, says Assistant Chiefs Moser of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson sector, i Hunting a protected species not only devastate! population but often also ruins the only habiu which the species can live, Bostwick said. ‘Red Baron’ pilot remains mystery for WWI buffs AUSTIN (AP) — A misty rain and low overcast allowed Capt. Manfred von Richthofen to sleep late Sunday, April 21, 1918, but when the Ger man ace climbed into his bright red triplane to hunt for enemy aircraft along the Somme River in France, it would be his last flight. Richthofen was shot down before noon and the question of who killed the “Red Baron” would become a timeless controversy for World War 1 and aviation history buffs. Jim Butler, a veteran airman, built a duplicate of the Fokker DR-1 the German ace flew as leader of his Fly ing Circus Squadron and provides part of the answer. “Richthofen was supposed to be the best and I wanted to see for my self,” explained the 45-year-old But ler, owner of an aerial sign company based at North Perry Airport. The son of a German army major, Richthofen was a cavalry officer when, at 23, a pilot friend taught him to fly. He soloed Oct. 10, 1915, but crashed making his first landing. When he was killed about 2 years later, he had shot down 80 planes — more than any other pilot in World War I. Butler soloed at 16 in Manchester, N.H., and moved here in 1953 when his father, an aviator, began a ban ner-towing service. However, Butler and aviation me chanic Ned Ames began construct ing the famed triplane in 1977 from copies of plans by its Dutch designer, Anthony Fokker. Thirteen months and almost $30,000 later, Butler flew his Fokker for the first time Aug. 28, 1978. “We duplicated the weight and balance, but I wouldn’t put it into a spin and if I did, I think I’d have to jump out,” Butler said. With its three wings, a pilot could hold the aircraft steady, Butler said, and use it as a platform for two Spandau machine guns mounted in front of the open cockpit. As Richthofen led his squadron that fateful morning, 24-year-old Capt. Roy Brown, a Toronto, Can ada, native in the Royal Air Force, took off in his Sopwith fighter from an airfield in Bertangles, France, 25 miles to the west. Brown had learned to fly in Day- ton, Ohio, and suffered from stom ach ulcers. Richthofen endured re current headaches from a head wound. The two squadrons met and Aus tralian ground troops watched as a “dogfight” ensued overhead be tween 12 German and eight British planes. When Brown saw a bright red “tripe,” as triplanes were called, chase 2nd Lt. Wilfred May, who was on his first combat sortie, he pushed his fighter into a dive and went to his friend’s aid. The three planes, lined one be hind the other, dropped to below 100 feet of the ground. Richthofen fired at the fleeing Sopwith, but was distracted when Brown shot at him from behind. Brown got closer, opened fire again, saw bullets hit the Fokker DR- 1 and watched the pilot slump for ward. The aircraft continued, skim ming the deck for an estimated one or two miles. The plane crashed, and Ger many’s great hero was dead. When Allied troops examined the wreck age and learned the pilot’s identify, the plane was stripped for souvenirs. Brown was given credit for his 11th and last enemy plane shot down. He died of a heart attack on a Stouffville, Ont., farm March 9, 1944. “There is no way that plane will fly one or two miles without some one fully at the controls,” em phasized Butler. Butler is often asked the final question: Who killed the Red Baron? “Not Capt. Roy Brown,” he re plies.
