And if they operate during the day, who's gonna bring them down, the Dominican Air Force? Besides having 100 generals, do they actually have any planes?
Fact: The last P-51 used by any air force was in the DR.
Fact: The last P-51 shot down was in the DR (by ground fire).
Fact: The DR Air Force currently has no functioning combat or pursuit aircraft of any kind.

Fact: I saw the P-51 fly low over my school, and we heard the thundering crash as we ran out into the street. The pilot tried to eject, but he was too low, and died from crashing into a rooftop with his parachute displayed. A tiguere picked up the 50 cal machinegun, and made a run with it. He was caught several blocks up the street by a lone policeman. It was during an attempted coup, by Gen Rodriguez Echevarr?a, circa 1962.
Fact: my cousin, Gen. Ramiro Matos, then chief of the armed forces (Secretario de las FF.AA.), negotiated in the early 80s the entire fleet of P-51 to a Holywood studio.

Not too long ago, my cousin who lives on the side of the road between Cabrera and Nagua, saw some lights coming from his oceanfront cow pastures. When he walked over carrying a shotgun to check for cattle rustlers, low and behold! it was a US Coast Guard helipcopter. The pilot (who spoke Spanish with Dominican accent) asked my cousin what was he doing there? He said it was his lind, and what were they doing there?. The pilot apologized, boarded with his crew, and flew off. By the way, my cousin is selling his land for dirt cheap (without the cattle of course), all of about 1,000 hectares. iF interested, just pm for details.
An oxymoron in its truest form!
Heh, heh, so true.
So now that there're no functioning planes and presumably no pilots, why is it still called the "Air Force"? How about changing the name to the "Dominican Air Heads?"
