Thanks for your report PJ. It is informative to read submissions like yours. Nicaragua certainly has suffered more then its share of hardship.
I do operate into Managua every now and then but usually rather late in the evening, on a charter basis (after all the scheduled flights for the day have been completed) most of the time we have a quick turn-around and my ground time is taken up with paperwork and dealing with handlers. Perhaps some day I will have some more time to take a better look at the place!
