Caribbean Island Hop - Leg III

Postby MOUSY » Wed Aug 02, 2006 9:19 pm

After my hop in the Dash 8-102 into Antigua, it's time for an early afternoon hop into Robert L. Bradshaw Intl, St Kitts.
There, I took the oppurtunity to switch things up a bit by switching to the new LIAT livery. Since I could not find a decent model/paint for FS9, I had set out to repaint the old model. Still incomplete, and as it is my first reapint, has a long way to go, but satisfactory so far.

Anyway, that hot afternoon at VC Bird, I pick up my pax.

After IFR clearance to St. Kitts and taxiing, I rotate into the clear afternoon skies.

Half-way into the flight, the twin island country becomes visible: Nevis, closer, and on to the left, and my destination, St Kitts, just visible on the right.

Cleared for a straight in approach into Bradshaw Intl.:

And this touchdown was right on the centerline...
My left wheel was, that is... slight crosswind gust at the last second. But at least it was smack on the numbers.... so this landing was half perfect. ;D

Clearing the runway... short stop... 4th connection from St. Kitts and Nevis, to the lovely Princess Juliana, St Marteen:

Thnx Krigl. :D I have major updates for almost every airport in the Eastern Caribbean.
I may upload this Repaint when I'm done, though it was originally just for my enjoyment (I have not yet asked for permission). If there's a want for it I'll do this along with a Caribbean Star paint. I'm suprised that the ony paints apart from the Old Livery work in aircraft only for 2002.
O and I should not that this paint may be somewhat fictional, as I think that the New Livery is only applied to 8-311s and not the older 8-102s.
