Mexican kingpin El Chapo photographed drinking beer, flying in plane.
Life on the run will make a drug lord thirsty.
Escaped Mexican kingpin Joaquin Guzman enjoyed a beer and relaxed in the cockpit of a plane in photos purportedly leaked by El Chapo’s son following the crime boss’ daring prison break.
The taunting pics, posted on Spanish-language site El Blog del Narco, come just two days after Guzman’s Saturday night escape from his cell in a maximum security Mexican prison.
The 58-year-old Sinaloa cartel chief fled through a mile-long tunnel dug over the course of a year, authorities said.

The photos, which haven’t been verified, would be the first of the mastermind since his escape.
He appeared at ease, casually gripping a bottled brew next to a couple of women in one image and chatting with a pilot in the other.
Joaquin (El Chapo) Guzman relaxes with a beer in photos posted on the site El Blog del Narco, which claims the photo came from the crime boss’ son.
Federal drug agents refused to comment on the pictures, but at least one law enforcement expert suspects the images could be part of a hoax.
“I don't think (his son) would leak those photos because that could be used to try and apprehend Chapo, and that would be circumventing his planned escape,” former Drug Enforcement Agent Mike Vigil told the San Antonio Express-News.

Guzman is now the target of an international manhunt, but he seems to be enjoying his reclaimed freedom. The Mexican government is offering a $3.8 million reward for information leading to his capture.
The nation's interior minister also announced that he fired the prison's director after the great escape,Guzman spent 13 years on the lam after a 2001 escape. He was captured and returned to prison in 2014.
