    U.S.A. JET DC-9 down in Mexico

    http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forum ... n/4055686/

    According to the newspaper, the crew never checked in with the Saltillo tower, but causes of course are unknown. Saltillo has a single operational runway, it is sourrounded by mountains and it is equipped with an ILS CAT I or II. It is the base of Saltillo Jet Center, a painting facility owned in part by ExpressJet airlines, and it has been used by several airlines for painting their aircraft including XJET, ASA, VivaAerobus, JetBlue.
    Terrible shame.
