#2 Please post - have a flight headed down there in about 36 hours and seems like TALC getting a handle on stuff - heard about our friends the Chinese landing without prior arrangement - is that what you're referring to?

#4 Got it! Have two relief flights lined up for next 72 hours; should be an interesting exercise. Flow control issues due ramp congestion dictating the traffic for now. Will contribute observations after we transit if there's anything not otherwise available.

#5 Make those planes fuel up prior to landing. Kick the small craft out and make room for prime movers.
