When will they learn how dangerous it is being on the ground in Mogadishu main? The airport is controlled by a "militia" that has soldiers shooting at the port, to stop shipping, and the port is shooting back, preventing aircraft from arriving, and somehow they still land.
Anyone remember the A310 that was chartered into there in 1997 and got shot up landing into Mogadishu? It then flew to Mombasa on two hydraulic systems and almost ran off the end in Mombasa, then ferried onto Nairobi again after that for repairs.
