Hi Kent, Enrique here,,,
Im so sad by the accident of the Taca 320 that happened. The airport is closed for Boeing,Airbus and McDonnel Douglas planes that used to fly, until further notice , most likely forever. I have been trying to contact fellow AA pilot S. Stache who grew up in TGU and certainly is well known at the airport, he must know a little bit more info regarding the accident.
As of right know the rumors are the plane landed half-way down the runway, which was wet. So you can kind of guess more likely what the official conclusion is gonna be. Witnesses also confirm that.
Too bad they are closing the airport , Ill never get to fly as a pilot there, and everyone will need to travel 180 kilometers NW to get an international flight...

I will miss flying into TGU cause it was so much fun,,, at least for me...
