Oi Richard,
Tudo bem?
I have been keeping a keen eye on this topic as i was in Brazil with my wife (who is from Sao Caetano Do Sul) when this crash happened.
I'm a little amazed at the corruption going on but my wife says this is very normal. I guess you have to expect that sort of thing when the military runs your airspace. I dont like the chances of Brazil getting the american pilots back for a trial so i guess that lawyer with the most clients probably wont be getting his huge (expected) fee huh?
Anyway thanks for the update.
Marty
