December 28, 20196 yr Real life was being a bit of a swine today, so once things had calmed down I went for a brief sortie from one of my bucket list places:- Princess Juliana Airport, Sint Maarten. I flew out to Saba Island, landed, then flew back to Grand Case, Saint Martin. I should have taken more screenshots, but I just wanted to escape to the virtual skies. Here's the Skymaster all safe, sound and warm after the flight. Seems like I need to see if there an upgrade for TFFG - according to Google maps, all the light aircraft are parked on hardstanding..

December 28, 20196 yr All my favourite 'bucket list' places too,and love that Cessna 337. Wish I had one for P3Dv4. Had it in FSX. Rick Almeida
December 28, 20196 yr Love the Skymaster myself, such a unique sound, plus I remember the Westpac one doing shark patrols around Port Phillip Bay beaches (Melbourne Australia) when I was a kid. Do you have a flight plan? I'm not familiar with the islands and their airports but always keen to fly the new experience. 2 hours ago, vc10man said: Wish I had one for P3Dv4 It is available for P3D, I fly it often.

December 29, 20196 yr Author 17 hours ago, Rogen said: ...Do you have a flight plan?.. No sorry, but it should be visible in VFR. Take off from TNCM then fly SSW - Saba is about 25-30km away. You should probably be able to see it from TNCM, depending upon your mesh - the island's peak is almost 3000 feet high. In FSX there is a (fictitious??) VOR at 108MHz which might be useful (or not!).
