Evergreen International Aviation, Inc.

Evergreen International filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in January 2014. The Oregonian reported: "The bankruptcy filing lists seven entities as submitting the Chapter 7 petition: Evergreen Aviation Ground Logistics Enterprise; Evergreen Defense and Security Services; Evergreen International Airlines; Evergreen International Aviation; Evergreen Systems Logistics; Evergreen Trade; and Supertanker Services." Evergreen had a number of logistical connections with the US federal government, including the US Forest Service and intelligence community during the Cold War. It had a major presence at Pinal Air Park in Marana Arizona, a well known "boneyard" and training site for the intelligence community. Several books have touched on Evergreen International's links to the Iran-Contra scandal, and its aircraft made a cameo in the film "Where the Buffalo Roam" with Bill Murray channeling Hunter S. Thompson's fictional character.
