Island hopping: St. Marten, St. Bart’s

[mryan75]

Doing some island hopping with a local pilot today, including these two pretty famous airports. Will post pictures and maybe some video later. Weather should be gorgeous. This is literally a dream come true, these airports by small plane. I’m like a kid at Christmas!

Don't pass up the chance to fly into the airport at Grand Case, TFFG, in St. Martin...much prettier in my opinion.

The beach is still in bad shape but still a nice view from the BN-2.

The Gendarmes commonly ramp check private planes carrying passengers there.

Tell ya what, inspectors look nicer in St. Bart’s. So we flew to SXM, to Anguilla, then to St. Bart’s and back to Anguilla. Photos and videos to follow, probably when we get home in a few days. Amazing experience.

Final into St. Bart’s. We are a lot higher and a lot closer in than it looks.
