How you NAVIGATE is totally up to YOU (or is subject to the limitations of your aircraft)! Today we go from Saint Lucia – Martinique – Dominica – Les Saintes - Guadeloupe. Feel free to fly your own thing (as long as it FLOATS, and can KEEP UP!). You can make it as REAL as you WANT it to be! And LIVE WEATHER is ALWAYS encouraged (and I don’t control if HURRICANES are in the area).
Welcome to Texas Props Amphibious Caribbean Adventure. Where we are going, we don’t need WHEELS! What do you mean, you don’t fly FLOAT PLANES! You’re FIRED! We need pilots with WATER LANDING experience! CRASH training (swimming lessons and Duct Tape) will be provided! Please try to use one of the planes from the list. You can’t say you don’t have one of these planes! The Standard version of MSFS has at least one of these for every category we will fly. We will be using different speed ranged aircraft (& generally ALL FLOAT)! I want to keep you guys on your toes, and broaden your flight sim experiences. We will be landing our planes in non-traditional places (No, I am NOT GunPilot, and it will be water or “some” runways). I will occasionally add mandatory amphibious capability (or resort to the rare JET for LONG distance stuff). We will see the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY of the Caribbean, as we look at it all of it from the eyes of the Naval Aviator. And always remember, your seat base may be used as a Flotation Device!
