Those druggies are gonna be sorry ....We are gonna strap TB into the harness and launch him into the wild blue yonder .....Guns Blazing.....Sang you are designated ground crew to load the machine guns

But last year LF bought 8 airplanes in Brasil precisely for this. What happened?

The first thing these idiots need is a working radar system that altidue encodes.

the second thing wwhen they get a unknown target is to scamble not wait to get the president's ok to investigate.

they were gassing them up in Brazil with ethanol

When the congress buy the airplanes the problem will be fuel and the lack of maintenance.

not to mention the fact that they will be immediately dismantled for parts to be sold on the international black market, maybe even to the very drug dealers they are purportedly intended to dissuade.

Not to worry .. Cap'n Crunch will get his WWI biplane out of mothballs and take care of those rotten druggies .. nobody wants WWI biplanes for spare parts .. too old .. so that should work just fine .. remember the "Red Baron" .. those were the good old days.. gentlemen killing gentlemen in the skies above ze fatherland .. Jawohl Herr Doktor Johann?

But this will be after thy they fly the hell out of them. Then unable to pay for maintenance and parts then they'll resort to cannibalization.


Really frustrates me that we have countless Dominican Professional Athletes, Celebrities Business moguls and we cannot mobilize to change the state of our national affairs. Gives proof we are a nation of idiots.

ladronaso, i have encountered countless dominicans who are moral, intelligent, caring people, who desperately want to see the country move forward. sadly, they eschew politics, leaving it to the criminal element.

By the criminal element do you mean the politicos

Deal hasn't gone through yet.

I agree the DR needs some state of the art Radar but that doesn't look good at the Military parade on 27 de Febrero.

you see. anthonyc, that was insightful. why can't you make comments like that all the time? yes folks, you cannot walk down the street with the radar strapped to the back of some Generalissimo, counterbalancing the weight of the medals on his chest. you know how we love a good show, so all equipment has to be portable. it is kinda like the guys who have the biggest jeepetas, but sleep on the floor, because nobody is looking inside the bedroom.

Reminds me of the difference between Lace Curtain Irish and Shanty Irish........Well Shanty Irish keep pigs in the living room........And Lace Curtain Irish put up lace curtains so you cant see the pigs in the living room.......A good old Irish slur....God I love em

The other issue is that the DR cannot buy a true state of the art Radar Tracking system, The US won't sell it to them.
The Real Solultion is the let the US set up a radar tracking abse in the DR. That way the airways are monitored. It won't cost the DR $$$$ and it will actually pump money into the local economy wherever they set up the base.

Of course than the Psuedo Nationalist will then be all up in arms screaming and burning tires.

GOULET, why do i believe that you could spend an entire afternoon telling racial and ethnic jokes?

dread you are correct...I do collect them so to speak ...But they must be clever

at one time we had the radar atations operated by the north dakota air national guard, one in pedernales, moved to puerto plata, then to montecristi. WHAT HAPPENED?????

I can guarantee you that with the eight airplanes, drug trafficking will exponentially increase via Haiti/border and then the responsibility will fall on the National Army to curb drugs, contraband, human trafficking, and weapons across the border!

that, greenwave, presupposes that the aircraft will be functional after the first week.

People like Belail started getting hysterical.

Funny that you mention that, yesterday there was a protest in front of the Domiinican Consulate, @ 30 people, about a dozen Haitains, a few Latino, but more than half were White American Communist (when was the last time you heard a person call another "commrade"?) , one of the people had a sign that read "U.S. Army out of Dominican Republic!" I didn't know we were still occupying the country.

PLEASE GOD. I hope one day the Dominicans would Invade Haiti. Oh Please DEAR LORD I hope someday the Dominicans might think that they are a Superpower and try to invade Haiti.
I hope it does happen soon. Dear Santa please make it so, some time in the near future.
Tonight I will be dreaming about it and hopefully one day it will come true.

OMG I can't wait.

Please DR invade Haiti please. I'll give you candy, money, women,men anything you want just cross over to our Capital please. Just for one hot minute

I didn't say DR was a super power. I want them to think that they are a superpower Or Justice League as you formerly put it. I want you Dominicans to make that mistake some day. and Believe me that day oh...... that very day.......Its only natural that we Haitians venture out to the other side of the island because legally the whole Island belong to US.



Ps. I'm not racist I help Dominicans when in US but I just hate when this fools try to blame Haitians for everything that goes wrong with the DR.

Oh my Are there Dominicans here. I thought they all left for Hartford,CT

Congress have not approved the purchase of those 8 plains yet, that's what happened. Anyway, the DR needs those radars, fighter planes and other weapons. If any organization or nation "won't let us" buy them, then we should start making our own. No-one can prevent us from doing that, well, except for our politicians that prohibited us from making our own weapons and condemned us to buy our defense from elsewhere....if they let us.

Trujillo, i see where you posted at 3.48am. is it safe to assume that this might have been after, or within , a night of high revelry, replete with the intake of numerous alcoholic cocktails? making our own radar and fighter planes? from what?

Well I heard that they are going to make them out of Condoms.

"If any organization or nation "won't let us" buy them, then we should start making our own. No-one can prevent us from doing that, well, except for our politicians that prohibited us from making our own weapons and condemned us to buy our defense from elsewhere....if they let us."

Are you serious?

LOL Dominicans making Airplanes LOL some Dominicans are taking this thing too far.. NO REALLY you people need to wake up. STOP DREAMING! Must I remind you that you people are the 3 poorest country in the western hemisphere and from what I heard Nicaragua is about to surpass DR for the upper spot.

Brazil which is a major player in the aviation Biz cannot make Fighter Planes. The Tucano is basically a Turbo-Prop trainer converted to Coin and FAC versions. The Tucano took years of designing, study and development before it ever took off for the first time. They also had major assitance from the US and EU aerospace companies.
The Tucano was also developed to be marketed and sold to other countries as a primary trainer and COIN/FAC attack plane. Brazil never would have gone to such lenghts and spent so much money if the plane was just for the Brazilian Military.

What a waste of money!!!! has anyone seen these planes, what a joke of an aircraft!!! why even bother??

Actually bang for your buck wise they are excellent aircraft for what they are designed for. COIN and FAC for small countries with limited budgets.

What plane do you want the DR to get? F-22's?

It is true, that te planes would serve their purpose. To use in inderdiction services and the required flight training hours to maintain the pilots current. You also must take into account that the expenses for interdiction get partially re-imbursed from US funds for narcotics offensive.

They were just given 4 planes of which maybe the Seneca II and Navajo (Twin Engine) are the only ones capable of serving in an interdiction role. Regardless what happens, the life span of the aircraft will be 4 years. We should have got them as soon as Leonel won.

What would be happening right now had their been a change in party/president due in 5 days. everyone in government would be stealing as much as possible.

We can not, not do something because of corruption excuse. The PLD has shown us that it (corruption) is not a party problem (PRD-PRSC) it is a way of life, a custom. A Dominican tradition. Brazil beats DR in corruption, yet it is an emerging nation, you have to deal with it.

The Dominican Republic is such an economic power in the world that when the Haitians closed down their chicken and meat business for a month that they went bankrupt. LION-NEL had to compensate for them. LOL super power my...... You people are not any better than us at least we still have our DIGNITY.
