I worked with a Combat Controller team a bunch of years ago down in Hondo. Super guys.

Nice Pics.I believe that they were called combat controllers
in my day?

There’s a lot of workhorse aircraft in that first picture. FedEx 727, two USAF C-130s...I can’t make out whose Ilyushin Il-76 that is in the background. And parked in the middle of all of those is a Gulfstream! I wonder whose it is.

Where were the Italian controllers?

Great pics, thanks.

Still a fair amount of ramp space available at that instant. If not now incorporated Homestead ARB is a natural for the air supply stream into Haiti. An hour flight, maximum cargo loads, plenty staging area, RR and highway land supply, and air route could even be a VFR corridor. And I suppose nothing wrong for foreign national flights to fit into the stream, just make sure they have a bigger (safer) block. (Although command would have to play hardball if they started screwing things up.)

I guess someone has figured this out.

Just help the locals in place, no "crisis" immigration, which isn't a long term solution anyway. (I know from experience there'll be thousands clawing to get on those US flagged aircraft.)

I can’t believe that airport building is still standing. How in the world did it escape the destruction of the earthquake.

Has anyone heard any rumors/news of unarmed American servicemen suffering any machete attacks in Haiti? I understand from the MSM reports that our peacekeepers are going out on missions without ammo. This seems like a huge mistake to me.

I don't want to spread rumors but it would also me a huge mistake to suppress any news of attacks. We need to be there but we also need to know.
