Todays flight takes us from one tax avoiders paradise, Panama, to another one, Cayman Islands. Out of MPDA...
... climbing out with a view to Panama´s highest mountain in the background, the Volcan Baru.
Leaving the land and getting over the caribbean sea.
The weather is not revealing much of the scenery ahead, ...
... and the radar of the approach does not look inviting either.
At least one can see a bit of a Cayman island´s coast...
... and around 500 ft AGL we finally see the runway of MWCB.
Done. With just one question open: Are these realistic trees for a caribbean island?

Great light in these shots, Landon.
I´ll check the correctness of the scenery versus the real one the week after next...

Aaaah, cool and ready to relax...!

Quite dangerous looking clouds, Landon. Maybe another scary invention of Mr. Blofeld?

These remind of scenery preview shots John....nice work!
Agreed. I wonder if we can rename John to „Iain“ now…

Not too long ago, the family of my mother had to escape from then-russian Poland to East, and further on to West Germany. A part of our history that so many seem to forget.
But I can´t name any "foreigner", as I have met people originating from a number of countries that just were as normal as me - I do not remember them as foreigners. Be they from Senegal, Greece, Spain, India, Australia, England, Scotland, Turkey, Croatia, Czech or whereever.

great shots Landon...
I know how you feel Gerold, we were hoping to go back to Berlin (I was based there in the 80's) but sadly had to shelve plans due to corona, hopefully get there soon...
... and how long this takes now... really a life changer.
-
Indeed a nice view. And good to know about the virtual A/C.

Fantastic captures Gerold.
Enjoyed the R/L shots from Carlos as well.
Thank you Adam. The RL shots are the cherry on this cake, plus some champagne and much more.

Nice tour. Looks not as windy as propsed, Landon.
If we had no Corona, wifey and me would have visited the town last May. I mean, the May before last may. How lockdown times pass by...

Sure Gerold, you can call me that if you like....plus, I am both a Star Trek and Star Wars fan, so it works there too. And yes, soon, very soon, ski season will be upon us here in Colorado and I shall be enjoying the winter mountains! Can't wait!
Live long and prosper.

These memories are great, and I always like avoiding crowds at the gate.
-
A pleasure to find these little - yet significant! - details in the sim!
-
Fantastic morning shots in glacierland, John.

A very happy Birthday, Trekkie. If I might call you like this, with all your fantastic outdoor reports (and probably plans)...

Then your last spot was Golfito Airport
I have always thought this would be a great Orbx addon
That was exactly what I though when I flew over it: What a great location for an airport in Orbx quality.
Now add some nature flow (as described above), and some PNG-like bushstrips...
@Ken Hall, please chime in and fire up your scenery workshop

The Osa peninsula is a national park all of it, Corcovado National park
Yet virgin jungle, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth
Several luxurious ecolodges are based here, unaffordable for locals
Amazing location and lodge. There is still room for dreams!

Then you finally cross over Golfo Dulce, full of dolphines and of whales when it is whales season. They come to the Gulf with the baby whales
It is amazing to kayak in the Gulf
The gulf already looked interesting on the map, but your pictures show that this is true. And kajaking there appears to be outstanding!

Quepos, Damas and Manuel Antonio
This is the top destination for the central Pacific, being Manuel Antonio the most visited park
Main trouble here are the thives,monkeys and racoons
I should have gone lower in this area to see more details. But your RL shots look great!

The Carara reserve, specially for spotting aras among other wildlife
I did not know this wildlife either, fantastic to see here. Seems I chose a good route...
The missing AraFlow does not cause too much disappointment for me.

Puntarenas used to be the most famous port/beach destination for ticos (costaricans) I like to spot it from air
Currently it is one of our most important ports
Puntarenas is well known, but it looks much better with the details in real life - that´s p3d...

Thank you John. A little refund sounds like a nice surprise, be it sufficient for a beer or a graphics card?
Thanks John. Trees and weather! Such a thunderstorm is not a pleasure, good luch this is a sim...
Thanks a lot, Landon. No, just on the move to the carribean sunshine. Well, I did not find it yet, obviously.
No worries Adam. I think most of us little simmers pay their taxes with strict discipline.
Thank you for the compliment TT. The flight itself was quite cloudy with little to see outside. But I hope I have shared the thrilling final...
