Also remember watching Aerosucre going out on old Quito's 9,000' msl RW35. Everybody went way down. They sure seemed to go deeper than most. Re-emerging from behind smoke in a 90 degree turn to the east impressively low. By the time they come to a conclusion what really happened here, not too many folks will pay attention. Whatever lessons may be learned, can only hope that poor guy in grass with the vest won't be so easily forgotten.

Everyone being a good shot over obviously. Can't deny there's a certain irrational thrill comes with taking a freighter to the limits in a challenging environment. Starts before loading even and builds with every move until the gear up call.
