Tulsa airport workers discovered a quarter of a million dollars worth of cocaine hidden inside an airplane.

The News on 6 has exclusive pictures of the stash. State narcotics investigators say a mechanic found 10 vacuum-sealed bags containing about 15 kilos of cocaine and a pound of marijuana.

Investigators say the drugs were in a floor panel and found during a routine inspection around midnight. Reports show the plane left Venezuela and was on its way to Miami Florida, when it was diverted to Tulsa for maintenance.

No one's been arrested.
