Dominican Republic jet crash.

[Kenny Phillips]

I am not so sure it appears out of control. I fear we might find this a case of the crew being in way too much of a hurry to get it on the ground.

I hope that's not the case, but the mere fact that they were able to control the plane and jettison fuel points that way.
And simply skidding to a stop on the runway, or even the grass, would have made this merely a mentionable incident.

Why so?

Why would you land with a string tailwind otherwise?

I spent many flight hours patrolling Haiti and Dom Rep for migrant inderdiction. This went on over 3 years. I call it Dom Rep.

I have two homes there. I call it DR.

sorry for the tangent, but holy geoarbitrage batman. But 650 a year is too much for ya for hangar insurance? You're killing my affordability chant in here man, I need actual poors.

P.S. As long as they're not Puerto Plata/Sosúa or Punta Cana, I'll vouch for ya as "one of the good ones".Otherwise you're on your own when the mob comes for the gentrifiers. I keed I keed.
