I new the captain well. Im still in disbelief. Reading everything I can. Nothing seems to jive yet. BTW two days earlier it was hydraulic fail during landing(I cant be pos thou). Looking for a shot of the weather radar over SXM during 18:45 oct29. This could help me. TS's down there are generally docile but never know. At this time anyone have a way to see backdated weather radar there. The flight7101 didn't get into the system oct29.
God bless their families with grace and comfort.
It hurts to know I flew N38OMQ out of JFK for American Eagle in the early 90's. A trusted servant. God rest the crew's souls.
I'm teaching on SXM and they took off in a thunderstorm. One of the most severe I've experienced. One body washed up on our beach. Down here it's rumored that the aircraft had a braking problem when it arrived two days earlier.
That could explain the wind. I've flown 757's into SXM well over a hundred times and only recall taking off towards the west twice.
Anybody know of an aviation website that's just as good as flightware without all the stupid comments?
No, but if we find one, we'll be happy to let you know so you can leave.
Easy there old man, your tea must be spiked!!!
Don't be disrespectful there... He goes for the Hard Stuff.. Coffee or Bust.. Not tea for the preacher :)
Cold as it is today, need plenty of coffee. LOL
