A pilot for a Dominican airline tried to smuggle a stash of cocaine and heroin past customs agents at JFK by strolling through the checkpoint in uniform alongside a group of innocent JetBlue employees, a law-enforcement source told The Post yesterday.

Saury Antonio Ortega, 41, who flies for Aerolineas Mas, had his ID badge displayed when he attempted to bypass a customs search after hitching a free ride on a JetBlue flight July 19.

But agents made him undergo a search and a customs dog sniffed out the $75,000 worth of drugs he had hidden inside bags of coffee, the source said.
