tflea, we've been waiting for 20 years since Balaguer promised us an international airport so maybe you can understand why those of us directly affected by the traffic it will bring to us on the peninsula are more than just a little excited with anticipation. We're chillin',...but also thrillin'!

Watch out who you're callin' old! I was chillin' in the 60's, probably about time you were born.

I'm a young 62 with the heart of an 11 year old,...I know my cardiologist said so when he recently installed a stent keeping me 6' above ground level. And thrillin? You're darn right. I'm just thrilled to be here to see the airport come alive.

No I'm from the east coast of Florida, racing capitol of the world as a matter of fact. And yes, we do have a drive in church there. Durn place looks like a Walmart parking lot every Sunday.

Now Jasper is a friend, but a twin he ain't (better for him-LOL). 'Course he's from way north, even beyond where the yankees live so I won't claim him.

Just curious...
We'll have dozens of airports in the Dominican Republic, but...
When are we going to have our own airline?
Hello! Hello! Is anybody there? Hello!











Hahahaha!

LOL FLAKKO I LIKE THAT ONE. Dominican Airlines never succed for two reasons. They are never on time (offer the worst service) and their own people do not fly them. So who the heck is suppose to fly them?

Chartered Plane Crashes into Caribbean, 189 Thought Dead The Turkish-owned Boeing 757, leased to a Dominican airline, was only minutes out of the resort town of Puerto Plata and had reached an altitude of about 7,000 feet when it abruptly turned back toward land and then disappeared from radar screens
