Blah, blah, blah. I can't recall ONE accident to have occurred at Stella Maris, unlike the dozens of fatalities that have been recorded, over the years, at NAS. Pure BS.
I still can't believe that notice was provided neither to Bahamasair customers nor to any residents of Northern Long Island. My parents are flying back to Canada tomorrow so my mum can get medical treatment; the last thing they needed was this ........ed closure.
I normally refrain from criticism of the US government, but I can't BELIEVE the manner in which it throws its weight around the Caribbean, and so often to the detriment of local residents. MYEG was closed in the late '80s so the DEA could have their own private airbase; residents of George Town were then forced to travel an additional 30 miles, over horrible roads, to get off the island. And now this! *heavy sigh*
