Stillwater Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I did not fly or post for some weeks. One could say, that was because there are no regular flights out of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, these days. But the nature looks great, for example at Lake Azuei, ... ... looking back to the west from the border. The eastern half of the island (Domenican Republic) has a much better infrastructure. Even better is the next island to the east, Puerto Rico. Here we are already at its eastern tip. Fredriksted, currently a US colony, shows some scenery mismatches. I had them before and solved it, but I don´t remember. And don´t care. As long as the destination shows up well. Princess Juliana International airport. The classical view. The even more classical view. St. Maarten. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Nice continuation of your Caribbean adventure Gerold. You can blame your long delay on the lack of flights out of Port Au Prince all you want, but we all know it was more likely you took up short term residence in one of the local watering holes and were perhaps investigating the underground voodoo culture for the spooky season Cheers!

A part of the world well worth flying too, just look at all these small islands around! 4 hours ago, BradB said: Great to see you posting shots again Gerold , these are “Purrfect” .

Landon You are right Landon, somewhat spooky creatures around here... I have to escape (or find sweets). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Cool aircraft and even cooler shots! Also, Autobreak 3 is a sound choice for a freighter landing in St. Maarten. What I don't understand is that you landing didn't draw more attention from the beach going public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Maarten´s runway is long enough if you arrive there with empty tanks. Probably even a go-around would be safe... I also don´t know why the spectators have not been getting me some more applause. Perhaps they were already waiting for the Mule team to bring more drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are looking at a giant octopus that tried to reach for your landing gear while you were on approach... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
