Bonnie Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Apparently, the storm was concentrated in the City as it had little to no effect on Copa flights. A Boquete friend flew from David to PTY in mid to late afternoon without incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
