skidbuggy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 http://www.airlive.net/2015/01/breaking-venezuelan-airforce-has-shot.html?m=1 I quite literally am on the island every couple of days. Of all the times I get sick and miss a trip. First a shootout now a shoot down. Word is that was a U.S. registered jet. No type noted. Venezuela says the shoot down occurred in their airspace. Dutch government and Arubians are saying other wise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skidbuggy Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Update: Family friend who is an air traffic controller on the island told me it was an F-16 that shot down a CL-601 corporate jet. Registration of the jet not being released. Edit: corrected aircraft type. Edited February 1, 2015 by skidbuggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
