Tegucigalpa, Honduras. That's how it's done there. More comparable to a St. Barts for jets!

Hi Bob, good to see you pop up now and again.

Watching the video, it looks like they are dropping the plane into a sink hole. Very good maneuvering.

A real dive and drive. Haven't done it myself as the Diesel 10 is too big, but I've seen lots of video from both cockpit and ground. The 757 is the perfect rig for the job!

You going to hit the DC show in September? Not sure if I'll make it yet or not. Am planning to get a table in ATL in October though.

It's amazing how these pilots dive and drive their aircraft with such a persuasive force. Totally cool.

I went to the first show earlier this spring and was disappointed. I'll have to skip the Kansas City show, but will try for the one in New York this fall.

Holly Molley, I had seen photos of TGU landings before but never a video. Talk about landing in a soup bowl!
