Uhhhh, the Mexicans want to have some pride in their military and some ability to call for air support if anti-drug smuggling issues get kinda big (as they tend to do). So they buy these planes, and some smart guy thinks that "Hey you know what kind of image would go great on the side of my plane? Speedy Gonzales" because it's a fast plane, and his name is Gonzales.
Then it turns out drug smugglers have taken Mr. Gonzales' sister, and are going to blackmail him in order to fly drugs for them all over the country; no one will ever suspect the military of transporting drugs

rolleyes

. And so he does it, since if he doesn't his sister dies (and her kids!

), packing his flight suit full of the drugs he walks kinda funny and when his wingmates ask him why he's walking with a branch up his ass he says something about the bad food he at last night. As they take off he deviates from the normal path, then activates a 'flight malfunction' device that the drug cartel had their operatives put in the plane (the operative was the mechanic, so no one asked the guy what he was doing, that looked like what he was supposed to be doing). He ejects safely, pretty much in the middle of nowhere where the trade off is supposed to go down.
He gives the drugs from his suit to one of the cartel guys and they let his sister and her kids go. As she gets behind him he pulls out a 9mm pistol and shoots the drug cartel guys and save the day; these bastards that kidnapped his family drop down as his wingmates fly over him to see if he's okay. They saw him kill a whole bunch of people with drugs, and save a few people. It's only thanks to the lack of knowledge the cartels had about how a pilot is expected to survive behind enemy lines that his crazy "pull the gun and shoot" plan worked.
As the Mexican military land vehicles drive up in the distance his plane explodes even more so, having landed on a hidden base for the drug cartel that contained loads of fuel, drugs, firearms and fireworks that finally exploded when the burning plane got too close to it. There are so much drugs inside that the smoke from this hidden base travels over the border and into Texas; George W. Bush takes a whiff and decides not to follow his daddy's footsteps and become a country music star.
And that my friends, is how the Mexican Phantom named Speedy Gonzales took out a drug cartel and made the USA elect Al Gore in the year 2000.
