The Caribbean Jaunt

 

June 2004

 

From our starting point at the Pan Am Dinner Key Terminal at Miami, Florida we will travel through The Bahama’s, the Turks & Caico’s, the Domiican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Anguilla and the Leeward Islands to Trindad-Tobago, then finally turning west to end our journey at Aruba.  You may use any amphibian you choose.

 

I will be using the Sikorsky S-43 from the Golden Eagle Squadron.  $12.50 payware.

Other choices include the Grumman Goose or PBY Catalina.  FS2002 models are available in the Bluegrass FS2002 Hangar.  FS2004 models are available on Mike Stone’s web-site

 

A scenery download is available on the Bluegrass FS2002 hangar page.

 Bluegrass Airlines Float Plane Bases  (2.7 mb) contains everything you need and works for FS2002 or FS2004.
