They might also use "cockpit riders" to find pot growing areas. When I was young and allowed to fly Airliners, it was sometime rather funny to notice the Midwest and SE U.S. corn fields frequently surrounding large circular areas of a much lighter green plant group well inside the corn fields. Very easy to see the differences during departures and in-bounds, on those fair-weather days. Now I have not flown an airliner since age 60, some 18 years ago. My bet says they are still there. BTW for you youngsters, now the age max is 65, May soon be 70. There I am, always a day late and a dollar short.
