Caribbean Hop Leg XIII

Postby MOUSY » Tue Dec 16, 2008 1:30 am

Leg XIII of my Caribbean Hop... Last trip, Leg XII left me in Havana, Cuba. This mid-afternoon hop brings me into Nassau, Bahamas in my beloved BahamasAir Dash-8-300 (from Premier Aircraft Designs).
It's an overcast afternoon, with 20 mile visibility. Visibility is expected to clear up a bit further north, but the cold front up ahead is expected to maintain some thick cloud layers in the skyways.

Ready to taxi as one of Cuba's air transit vehicles taxi's by:

Taxiing to the active:

Gear up, climbing into the saturated sky:

At cruise altitude, through the clearing we spot a few Bahamian atolls. Descent into the capital begins shortly.
Image

TRAFFIC ALERT! An  American Eagle ATR 72-500 whizzes past as we descend into Nassau, Bahamas:
Image

Gear down, on final approach into the islands of sand and sun:

Touchdown, air brakes deployed. My BahamasAir Dash 8 hops and skips smoothly down the runway to join the rest of the fleet:

Rolling to a stop at the gates of Nassau Intl. Ladies and gents. Enjoy the islands:

Next stop, MIA baby! 8-)

Hope you enjoyed. Comments and criticisms appreciated.

Nice shots. It's good to see other planes in there.;) it adds to storyline.
Awesome clouds  :o

Thanks guys. I've made it a mission to get every Traffic and Scenery Add-on I can get for the Caribbean. It's my spot to fly. Nothing like it.

I wont be restricting myself to only the Caribbean Islands though. I'll be circumnavigating the entire Caribbean Sea, heading down Central America, from capital to capital, eventually reaching South America. I'll then travel up north through the Southern Caribbean and back to my final destination, my home country of Dominica.

Glad to see you made it through, you prevailed where I failed miserably ::) ;D


Hey, you could always begin flying again and we could post our legs together! We're both currently in Miami (as of my next leg). Would be interesting!

See you with leg XIV soon!

Do they look that bad? They're from FS9. My FSX would look much worse...
