Goldy Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) JMC- You're kidding me! That would be the most awesome flight and scenery ever!I'm jealous just knowing someone out there could do this.....I think I feel a cold coming on and need to be sick for a few days. Have a fantastic trip, Goldy Edited January 28, 2011 by Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary-mike Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Dang, Just found a one one ticket for $450. Too bad I don't have a passport and the spare $ right now. That sounds like an awsome trip. And a good deal, I think you forgot to request your copilot pay for the fuel ect. lol (refering to prior ferry flight offers).

280fxColorado Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Extraordinary trip went off without a hitch. If anyone is interested, I posted a bunch of photos at HERE (link) under "280fx DR to US" . --JMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjl2001 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Awesome photos, looks like it was a fun trip. I can't wait to fly somewhere like that. Just out of curiosity, what was the longest over water stretch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280fxColorado Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) So, have to ask...who was the lucky VR member that got to go ?? It was actually one of our flight instructors who was able to get her child taken care of in a pinch--it wasnt looking good so I put out some feelers as a last resort. Our guys in the DR called me on a Friday for a Sunday departure. Would have been a long trip solo... Awesome photos, looks like it was a fun trip. I can't wait to fly somewhere like that. Just out of curiosity, what was the longest over water stretch?Puerta Plata D.R. (MDPP) to Providenciales, Ts&Cs (MBPV) is 155nm straight line distance and mostly deep, dark, cobalt waters as far as you can see until you hit the stunning Caicos Platform. Nassau International (MYNN) to Tamiami Executive (KTMB) is 165NM with only a few specks of land along the way. The route was roughly this: SkyVector (use the buttons @ top right to change between charts--AWESOME website) Edited February 18, 2011 by 280fxColorado 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
