Did some checking, there is no tower at TNT airport. Pilot must have communicated with Unicom on the field. Probably had no ADS-B or a working transponder. So much for all of the surveillance balloons tethered at Key West!

Low and slow certainly has its advantages in certain situations.
“Martinez is being held by Customs officials”
Why?
Serious question since millions enter the “country” every year with out question, vaccination, intent or any scrutiny…
The Irish?
The USA and our community needs pilots. Just like the USA is in need of doctors and nurses. In most cases people trained in these professions can get entry into the USA. Check out Public law 89-236 passed with bipartisan support. I for one, welcome another pilot to the USA.
Also keep in mind that someone coming from Cuba to the USA is covered under Public Law 89-732.
It seems that the US laws may be on the side of Martinez being able to legally become a USA citizen.
Keep the Irish out!
Russian troll.
Good time to set up a AN-2 used plane dealership in florida then?
LOL
I’m disappointed at the hateful political and racist comments of my fellow AvWeb readers. I had rather hoped they’d be better company.
I’m betting he wasn’t actually low on gas.
I also do not understand Jay’s Irish joke but I don’t see anything hateful in this thread.
There are a couple jokes about the Antonov but I suspect most of us think its a cool airplane and nothing anti Russian is implied by those statements.
“The “administration” is allowing repeat allowing an unfettered invasion and surely there’s no chance that Martinez will be denied entry?” US immigration policy with respect to Cubans has been more or less consistent for the last 50 years. My brother in law came from Cuba via Mexico hidden in the bathroom of an RV and eventually became a citizen. He has a wife, 2 kids, and is a successful engineering manager at a major US tech company. If this guy is half as successful as my brother in law AND he’s a pilot, I say “welcome”.
George H, I urge you to get to know the monikers and opening gambits of the trolls and just skip whatever they are carrying on with. Exposing us to a call to negative emotion is their MO.
As for the Irish, locking up our daughters didn’t work. They were too damn charming. I think we’re stuck with them. And Guinness is actually semi palatable.
