Iván Guzman's 2 Panoramic View Helicopters

Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Infobae


These are the helicopters with a panoramic view that belong to Iván Guzmán, "The King of Cocaine".

It is  a pair of Robinson R22 Beta II model aircraft for civilian use and without military capacity.

Austere and with barely capacity for two people, this would be two of Iván Guzmán's helicopters, “El Rey de la Cocaína” of the Sinaloa Cartel (CDS) who is one of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzman Loera's sons.

An Instagram account that is presumed belongs to "El Chapo's" son, published  images of two aircraft , one in red and the other under wraps with a  cover, but it can be distinguished that it is the same model.

The story was published on July 12 at 10:00 p.m. Mexico City time and only remained visible for 40 minutes. The helicopters are parked in a deserted place with some palm trees, without any message.

Aviation experts consulted by Infobae Mexico pointed out that it is the Robinson R22 Beta II model, which due to its simplicity has a cost in the market of approximately USD $330,000, and is for civil use, since its simplicity and limited space limits it to very basic flights.

According to the website of the maintenance agency HMU Helicopter Maintenance Unlimited, the aircraft is basically used for training flights, pipeline patrolling and monitoring cattle grazing and is useful for "any operation that requires reliability, low cost of operation and good performance."
This is what the interiors of the R22 Beta II Helicopter look like (Illustrative photo only, taken from hmu.com.mx)

The R22 accommodates two adults and despite its austerity, the design allows them to enjoy the view because it has panoramic windows. “The noise inside the cabin is reduced with the use of acoustic foams. The high-performance muffler and low speed of the tail rotor tips also help reduce noise during flight, " the agency describes.

According to the information, it has a Lycoming O-360 four-cylinder engine, equipped with a carburettor to use 100L grade aviation gasoline. This 145 hp engine is repealed at 131 hp for 5 minutes for takeoff and 134 hp for continuous operation.
The engine, lightweight aluminum frame, and aerodynamic shape allow it to achieve a cruising speed of up to 90 knots and an average fuel consumption of only 7-10 gallons per hour. Its maximum
takeoff weight is 1,370 pounds and it has a maximum operating altitude of 14,000 feet.


It is also equipped with a fire extinguisher bracket, a 14-ounce fire extinguisher, an artificial horizon with a landslide indicator, a directional gyroscope, COM1 (communication equipment) and a GPS.

A director of International Operations of the United States Anti-drug Agency (DEA), recently told Infobae Mexico that of the four sons of El Chapo identified as members of the Sinaloa Cartel (Joaquín, Iván, Alfredo and Ovid) is Ivan whom he taught all the tricks that helped him become the most wanted drug trafficker in Mexico and the United States.
The agent stated that Iván was prepared to be "El Chapo's" successor, his father considered him more intelligent than his other three brothers.

The so-called “Chapitos”, as his other brothers are also called, are heirs to an empire that includes real estate and hotels, among other businesses, are the target of the security forces and had, it seems, enemies outside and inside the organization.

Despite the fact that his brother Ovidio has been in the headlines since last October for his defiance of the Mexican state that after keeping him in a house they had to release him after a presidential order after the cartel took the city of Culiacán, Iván has begun to be called "The King of Cocaine," since he is the one who controls the trafficking of drugs and precursors from South America.

Ovidio Guzmán, that day in October 1919 when he was briefly taken into custody which led to the now infamous event know as "The Culiácanazo". CDS held off the military intervention in Culiácan, Sinaloa as they unleashed their own army and held the city hostage until Ovidio's release within hours.
Although along with Ovidio, who owns most of the fentanyl laboratories in Culiacán, authorities have identified cocaine as the Guzmán's chief business.

Iván is in the sights of the US government for introducing large amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and marijuana into the United States through vehicles, trucks, boats, and tunnels. Much of the raw material used by the cartel was imported from Asia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala.

  2. Off the subject: 2 years ago in DGO, I heard El Chapós people and Caros people were starting to have problems. I figured it was rumors, but looking back it was true.

    1. It would make sense that he knows how to fly. He could dump those helicopters for the price and get a new one the next day.

  5. I question the authenticity of his IG and some info in this article. By all accounts, Jesus Alfredo was the one being groomed to be the heir of Chapos faction. He was taught to develop relationships with SA DTO's and secure routes for transport. The Mayo to Ivan's Chapo, if you will. Ovidio also cut from the same cloth as he remains lowkey, like JA.

    El Señor Ivan also has a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk which we use when he is in the mountains of the golden triangle between Durango and Sinaloa.

    It is equipped with radar jamming technologyfrom the Israeli Mossad. It also carries weopanry including the M-60 GP 7.62mm machine gun, the M-240 7.62mm machine gun, the .50 caliber GAU-19/A machine gun, as well as the General Electric M134 7.62mm 6-barreled minigun.

    There is a group of amatuer "elite" making videos out there. Come to Sinaloa Durango Or Sonora with that nonsense y veran el Black Hawk in action

    Cds was known for having BOOTY coke for a long time-

    Whats his ig account??

    ReplyDelete
  16. I can 100% guarantee you that the menores do not have IG nor Twitter. This was already confirmed by Gris Guzman 100 times over. The only IG that Ivan had was with his initials and when it got attention he changed it to a pseudo name it's still online but hasn't been active in 4 years.

    I cant get around people believing that fake account.

  20. All that money and he cant even flaunt it like the princes of dubai because he will be killed or captured. Being a narco is a terrible life when the CIA/DEA are after you. And you can only run for so long before you end up like el patron.

  27. How true is it that the “toys”and friends work for Ivan and Alfredo? I’ve always heard markitos toys is close friends with Alfredo. In one of the videos of a friend of markitos a mcclaren came out which is said to be Ivan’s . They cut that part of the video after people starting saying it was Ivan’s .

  28. ... a dandy tactical surveillance and get-away helicopter... have flown an R22 myself but they are skittish little birds requiring a lot of skill to fly... nothing like fixed wing aircraft.

  29. if they really paid 300k which i doubt they got ripped off you can get a r44 for that price

  30. I worked for Robinson as a tear down mechanic when I first started in Aviation. They’re pretty simple helicopters, other models come with more bells and whistles.

  32. El Chapo's sons live in a very small world. All of the money, cars, planes, copters, etc.. can not give them the freedom to really enjoy it all because they are hunted & live in fear. The real "King of Cocaine" is somebody that nobody has ever heard of in some skyscraper in Columbia that does travel the World freely and enjoys the best things in life without fear. The Guzman kids are living on "Borrowed Time" just like the rest of the cartel bosses..
