Can’t help, my first thought was a bomb set to go off once a plane reaches a certain altitude.

With Boeing trained mechanics as well as good pilot training, the flight cycle is near constantly met. Yet Cuba, I’d bet, is highly lacking in both.

Many people may know that there are lots of 50’s vintage Detroit Iron running around Cuba but most are probably not aware they have been re-powered with Soviet/ Russian power plants due to lack of real replacement parts.

I rode on one of those Cuban planes once. Might as well of had goats and chickens on board. They were using dry ice to cool the cabin. Was an old Russian plane. Doubt if they’ve upgraded since then.

Supposedly a 747-400 leased by Cubana from Blue Panorama.

>>Their maintenance routine likely involves duct tape and spray cheese.

But only when they can get American missionaries to bring some to them in a suitcase full of socks and tampons.

Day of false Flags.


Sometimes, it’s just a plane crash.

There are no coincidences.

God I hate the deep state.

God I hate the "every event on the globe is a U.S. deep-state conspiracy" lunacy that now infests FR.

The Article said it was a 737, not a 747.
