From Paradise to... Paradise: Exuma to St. Maarten

Recommended Posts

Our last flight in the Longitude took us from Orlando Executive to Exuma International in the Bahamas, and today's flight will be a repositioning flight as we head over to St. Maarten to pick up passengers who are heading back to the United States. Let's go!

Some dark clouds building as we finish prepping the aircraft for departure. Is this a sign of things to come?

Storm clouds continuing to build on the climb out

Starting to get some flashes of lightening as we pass over Turks & Caicos, but it's still smooth up here at FL450

The storms got more intense as we went along, but we made it through

The weather is beginning to clear up as we make our descent

About to cross over the famous Maho Beach. Apparently the newest jet in the Cessna line wasn't enough to lure the people onto the beach to watch our arrival

After a 1h43m flight we have arrived at the state of the art FBO here at Princess Juliana Airport

Unfortunately our time in paradise will be short lived as our passengers are already pulling up to the aircraft. At least we could here the sound of the waves breaking from the ramp (for real, MSFS is crazy that way)

 

That's it! Thanks for viewing!

Nice set! Love the clouds and weather! The jet is a favorite as well too!

 

Thank you! The Longitude is my primary GA plane in MSFS at this point, but the CJ4 mod is making that look very tempting. I'm going to start testing it out tonight.

Just a question, do your planes drift to the left or right while flying? Mine started doing that, and don't know why. Even the Citation. :( Started having to use the Wing leveler to correct it.

 

Fortunately I haven't experienced that much with MSFS. I use a flight dynamics mod for the Longitude that can be found on the Microsoft Flight Simulator forums that really helps with riding the plane of those annoying bugs.
