One of the areas that many flight simmers enjoy is the area surrounding the Princess Juliana airport. Many of us know the spectacular views from the beach of the very low approach to Princess Juliana.
In the area is St. Barts, a play ground for the rich. Its has a very challenging approach.
Finally, one of the world’s shortest, if not the shortest paved operational runways is on nearby Saba island.
We’re going to be flying to the area from Puerto Rico, about 170 nm to the west. Each leg will utilize different aircraft and different skills.
Be sure to turn DEVELOPER MODE ~~ on ~~ so that you can switch aircraft without having to restart the session.
