Luanda (LAD)
Does anyone know what is happening in LAD, heard a rumour they can only accept narrow body aircraft due to a taxiway issue?

Atlas currently has a SonAir 747 there. Due to leave in a few hours. Arrived 9/20, 05:35Z.

Operated an MD-11 into there, Atlas picked up the Sonair contract. This was years ago but there was a need to back taxi. If I remember correctly, one taxiway ran half the length of the runway and it was an NDB approach with special instructions due to possible small arms fire at the time. They had lost several russian aircraft that refused to fly out over the ocean to climb/decend to save fuel. The Angolans claimed mechanical failures but the odds are they were shot down.
