Cuban Boat Swap After Hijacking Looms Return to Miami
A .5 million Eastern Air Lines plane traded for a $50,000 Cuban patrol boat in the wake of a hijacking wave may return to Miami today. A 10 man airline crew flew to Havana to fly back the hijacked Lockheed Electra with 38 aboard, while the 38 foot boat seized by Cuban refugees sailed from Key West toward Cuba under the deal. Coast Guard escorted the vessel to the three mile limit and returned guns aboard. A Miami lawyer failed to attach the boat for Terry Kane whose tractor business was seized by Castro. Kane and Erwin Harris have judgments or claims tied to the Cuban regime and its assets in the United States.
