January 5, 20188 yr Good day all... Im looking at flying to a tropical destination tonight in the 747, I’m looking for something that has available scenery. I’m thinking along the lines of Cacun, Cuba etc... any suggestions along with scenery?

January 5, 20188 yr I don't think I've yet to see a decent Cancun. I'd go with the TNCM from FlyTampa, as a matter of fact I think I'll fly over there myself, being that Chicago is stupid cold right now. Jacek G.

January 5, 20188 yr Author I’ll check it out, leave room on the tarmac in case I decide to head out there !! Intel I7 12700KF / 32 GB Ram-3600mhz / Windows 11 - 64 bit / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060TI / 32" Acer Monitor, Honeycomb alpha/bravo, CH rudder pedals, Tobii 5, Buttkicker, Logitech radio panel.
January 5, 20188 yr This is actually one of my favorite flight themes. Major US airport with crappy weather to a tropical destination. There is so little scenery in V4 it can be a little challenging to find two cities. The lack of a Cancun is a big issue - for 3 years someone has said they are doing it but I have seen nothing except a teaser pic of the tower. Because they have said they are doing it, no one else is touching the airport (yes this is a sore spot because it is my favorite destination IRL).

January 5, 20188 yr Plus plus Fly Tampa's TNCM - St Maatin. Haha...while you're there, you need to take a hop over to Fly Tampa's SABA Island, but you better rent a Twotter or BN-2 because I don't think you'll be able to drop a 747 down on a 400m strip AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz - 5.2GHz|CyberPowerPC MasterLiquid CPU Cooler|MSI PRO B850-VC WiFi Mobo|GeForce RTX 5070 12GB|DDR5-6000MHz 32GB|950 PRO M.2 2TB|850 EVO 500GB|2TB Seagate FireCuda SSHD|CyberPower ATX|850 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold PS|Win11 64bit Home|MSFS2024 Std Ed I love the smell of Jet-A in the morning!

January 5, 20188 yr St Maartens is sure the best place to land with747 in this zone. Look only after... videos on you-tube, and look from the beach the runway... Not before you risk to crash 😣

January 5, 20188 yr Grand Cayman Islands! You fly right over Cuba if you leave from Florida. Latin VFR has very good scenery, including the prerequisite docked cruise ships. While you are lounging at Grand Cayman you can fly hops to Montego Bay (also Latin VFR) and also to places like Cancun and Cozumel. I make the FSX trip to the Caymans each January. Great vantage point for additional hops in GA aircraft like the also prerequisite Grand Caravan!

January 5, 20188 yr Hi Folks, And my favorite where you don’t even have to leave the country - Key West (LatinVFR) - anything from a 737 on down seems to land here on a relatively short challenging runway... San Juan (LatinVFR) makes a great base of operations for turbos or twins to hop around the islands once you get there - seems to have flights everywhere - such as Tradewind Aviation’s PC-12’s to Saint Bart’s (FlyTampa)... Honestly - I have yet to make a good landing there with Carenado’s bird - made many attempts - too slippery or I’m a bad pilot... Taxi2Gate need to get on the stick with some v4 love in the Carribean - have a few that need updates... Regards, Scott
