The flight may have landed, but this suspect was just starting to get high.

A Texas pilot booked himself a direct trip to the hospital when a balloon of smuggled cocaine burst in his stomach, according to authorities.

Stanley Rafael Hill, 49, allegedly ingested 62 small rubber bags of the drug before boarding a Saturday flight from Colombia to Houston, Texas, KPRC reports.

The Dallas-area commercial airline pilot, who was flying as a passenger, was rushed to Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital where he underwent surgery shortly after the plane landed at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, according to CBS Houston.

Hill works for a small regional air carrier and is a father of two, according to NBC DFW. He is charged with felony possession of drugs with intent to deliver.
