Small Caribbean adventure

Featured Replies

Today I'm going from the British Virgin Islands, more precisely from Terrance Lettsome Airport on Beef Island (next to Tortola) to St. Kitts. But I'm taking a small detour via Sint Maarten.

And here we have our good, old Staggerwing

Hmmh... Obviously we are on a secret mission today, because we are flying without any identification

To be on the safe side, I ask the pilot: "Are we smuggling rum today?" The answer comes promptly: "We ain't smuggling nothing, Mista. We are trading in West Indies goods". Well… that could be fun

We are now over the French part of Sint Maarten, so I should actually be writing Saint Martin

We have now arrived over St. Kitts, Basseterre. Let's get back to terra firma fast, our landing lights aren't the best and it gets dark quickly here

Done, and I even got a crate of rum for free. They're all really friendly people here

Sorry for my late reply Dillon, I have partly used a livery you can find on the .to site. Some exterior changes and the interior I did, but I haven't published it yet.
