I stumbled over the aircraft type because of the large black exhaust areas.
so are we in the Dominican Republic or one of the neighboring islands?

Also because you use your own photos.
The determination of the twin props took me an hour already.
It is sad these little airstrips are closed but if you look at the close surroundings on google maps it is also clear that this could not hold up with current safety requirements.

I wish dook well.
