Caribbean Island Hopping Tour

Trinidad to Aruba

Some of these longer legs, its worth climbing up to get higher TAS. Climbing out of Piarco International, Port of Spain, Trinidad. 196 Kt TAS at 9500 ft while staying under 20 gph.

Making 207kt TAS on the descent back down.

Fun to have the coms be to “Magarita Tower” on the way into Chief General Santiago Marino International on Parlomar

Final turn into Flamingo International on Bonaire

Flying to the West with the prevailing winds from the East makes good time, but it means most of the landings and takeoffs involve flying in the pattern a bit.
Entering the Left Downwind and then Final Turn at Hato International on Curacao

Aruba is pretty flat, but one little hill kind of right near the 45 into the Left Downwind.

The next leg I have planned is the longest over-water stretch of the tour - 510nm to Jamaica.
[ Probably sim-fly that from my laptop while watching football later today. ]
