Great shots from our reporter on the scene in Africa!

Looks like they went 750 feet or so off the end.

You can hear them laughing on final haha, one thing i noticed that vertical stab is pretty damn close if you want to land between the 1k marks. And they had a crew come out and pull the decals off it, so it looks like a plain white 37 in the mud now.
