I had the opportunity to fly on a local airline here in Honduras, TACA. They do fly to a few places in the US but mostly just here in central America. There are a lot of jokes about the local airlines here and when we booked our flight the missionaries teased us a lot about it. Supposedly the central American airlines are dangerous and not nearly up to the safety standards of the US. We're still alive so no problems but, there are a lot of jokes about these airlines that I think are worth sharing. They make up nicknames for what the airlines stand for.
TACA: Take a Chance Airline
TACA: Take a Coffin Along
There’s another airline called SAHSA (now out of business)
SAHSA: Stay at Home, Stay Alive
How comforting . . .
