Mighty American Airlines DC-10

Featured Replies

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

 

Here is nice Caribbean flight flown by American Airlines DC-10 from SVMI Simón Bolívar International Airport located about 13 miles from downtown Caracas, Venezuela to TTPP Piarco International Airport located in Piarco 16 miles east of Port of Spain which is capital of Trinidad and Tobago.

 

In real life, I always flew round trips on that plane from NY to Barbados, Trinidad, and Jamaica.

 

Ready for pushback!!!

Hi Aharon, nice DC-10 there mate.

 

You should really consider buying LatinVFR's SVMI scenery addon... it positions the airport in its real world coordinates and makes a great depiction of the area of La Guaira, which is the Venezuelan littoral where Maiquetia is located. LatinVFR also has a cool rendition of TTPP, check it out!

 

cheers!
