I dunno. A jetport in the Azores probably *is* an unusual place. I
wonder what the daily traffic volume is.

To go back to the original crash - at the time the airport was littered with
large airliners because the weather in Europe was horrible and they'd all
landed there to wait it out. So they were back-taxing aircraft on the active
runway because the taxi-ways were full.

It was an unusual day at that airport, it became infamous!
