(I know special places require special procedures. I am not trying to call anyone out. When I flew air ambulances, I was trained to fly into one particular airport in west Texas where we came in just above the fence and touched down on the "piano keys" and it was approved by the FAA even though it meant we landed Prior to the touchdown zone.)

Question, and I am NOT judging nor calling their actions into question, just asking: did the crew come in low then fly up to the touchdown zone?

Either a) the plane came from our Canadian contractor, or b) the plane had been turned over to the aircraft acquisition guys - they're called "feezy" - they buy and sell planes independent of Express. They've been known to use contractors.
