From what I heard the Astral DC9 was on finals runway 24 into Jomo when they got windshear. Landed short and struck some approach lights. Minor damage to the flaps and already being fixed in the hangar.
There was a lot of inclement weather and everyone was diverting that afternoon.

Glad everyone was OK, and the aircraft wasn't damaged much. Last I heard they still had only 1 aircraft in NBO, without a spare available.
