Sister City Flights - week 8 - San Juan (Puerto Rico) - Observe!

[Storm]

This week we return to fixed wing or rotorcraft at 110 knots. We visit the Arecibo Observatory, fly over La Cordillera Central, and much of the way around the main island of Puerto Rico, starting and finishing in the capital, San Juan.

San Juan became Honolulu's Sister City in 1985.

Reminder (get scenery + trivia questions!): Join us at 9pm eastern at TJSJ for our 110kt trip around Puerto Rico. Don't forget to install the Arecibo Observatory scenery (see red sections in opening post).

Awfully hard™ trivia questions:

1. As a Rebel pilot, he survived both the battles of Yavin and Endor. But what does he have to do with our flight tonight?
2. Who is the reigning queen of Puerto Rico?
3. The largest, privately held company of its kind in the world, and a cathedral on our final final. ¿Qué?

Answers during the flight only please (not below!).
