I'm sorry but it is in Spanish so if you have questions don't be afraid to ask me.

The Captain of that GII was Cap. Ruben "El Muerto" Ocaņa he is an AMX retired pilot.
Cap. Ocaņa's license wasn't taken away & he also received was awarded by Gulfstream
Cap.Ocaņa was in a transatlantic flight heading Shannon aiport, as he was running out of fuel & Shannon airport were closed due to heavy fog he was told to land @ Mallow's horse race course.

The plane made it to the ground with no damage & left a few weeks ago after the inssurance company build a tarmac strip.

Cap. Ocaņa now lives in Mexico city & is 84 years old.
we are sure he made a great job that day & after reading his story he became my heroe.
