The CIA was doing nothing more than they did all over the world in the
last 70 years: start wars to profit the weapons industry. Kennedy was
going to pull the US military including the military advisors out of
Vietnam.

Now that is something I know, a bit about. 

Were there U.S. military aircraft stationed in Laos?  Nope as Laos
was, technically, a neutral country there were no U.S. military
aircraft stationed in Laos.

However there were aircraft flying into Laos from bases in Thailand by
Air America, a "civilian" group, but none with the range to fly from
SEA to Guam. In fact they were mostly helicopters.

Was there dope smuggling? Probably, after all opium was apparently
legal in Laos, or at least sold openly in the Vientiane market.
