Shalom and greetings all my pals,

A local Caribbean airline called LIAT has closed its doors after about 60 years of operations and just finished the last flight few days ago.

In honor of memory of LIAT airline, I am presenting one of historic routes of LIAT airline that was flown in yer 1973-1974 when LIAT had four BAC 1-11 jets.

Here is a fun tropical flight from TBPB Grantley Adams International Airport located in Seawell, Christ Church about 8.0 miles from the centre of Barbados' capital city Bridgetown to TJSJ Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport located in Carolina, Puerto Rico three miles southeast of San Juan.

Nice flight. I never realized LIAT once flew BAC 1-11's. Too bad you can't squeeze this plane into MSFS2020's new Caribbean World Update. 🙂

Nice set, Aharon...

Thanks for sharing...!
