Tyrolean Airways used to fly Dash-7s in there. Like this...

B2 first saw action in Kosovo / Serbia (most noticed target - the Chinese embassy in Belgrade...), then Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

Again I have only good things to say about Atlas - my trip in their plane last year went absolutely as planned, with perfect support when we did hit a minor snag (dead battery). Re Turks and Caicos I remember the tech stop en route to Puerto Rico being fairly expensive in terms of fees O.o -...

1049s used TC from version C onwards.

There's a flying 1049 based in Switzerland :)

As others said, taking photos out of Pipers isn't really that complicated. This is Venice, from FL 080.

There is indeed a Bahamian AIP. To get hold of it you have to get in touch with the Bahamian aviation services unit (long, tedious, slow). I have managed after weeks of to and fro to eventually get a CD rom copy. PM for more.

Class B works exactly the same - no entry without clearance (sorry about that, Miami approach...ahem). Not a lot of difference in VFR charts, but I recommend getting familiar in advance with the ones you will use. One thing i found sorely missing was the VACs we use in Europe. Phraseology...

Pas de souci, je peux te briefer en français...(mais pas en vlaamse :D )

And as people said before, a more expensive ticket with a set return date that can be changed free of charge is perfectly acceptable for the CBP officers. I'll say it again if you didn't understand - your ticket WILL have a defined return date which you can change as opposed to having a...

It "should" - just as I "should" have had 85% of VFR weather in May in the Caribbean, and only had about 50%... But what if it isn't? Remember, one or two days of MVFR or IFR are enough to screw up your schedule. "Get-there-itis" in itself is bad enough - I don't know what your flight...

Okay - so following my Caribbean adventure I have a couple of questions. Flying in/out of San Juan Isla Grande TJIG, you have to transit to San Juan Int'l TJSJ C class airspace along a number of preset "transitions". Now, neither in the AF/D nor on the TAC could I find these transitions. I...

If you have the database that is... the GPS I had didn't have the Caribbean database.

Give it time... let's talk again once you'll walk through the brushes between the Club Med beach and the road :D Oh and don't miss fish fry on the beach in GHB. Great ambience. (actually our ride was a decrepit tan Chevy Malibu now that i think about it).

Not a tan Nissan perchance :) ? You can do the afternoon at the Club Med beach and then dine at Tippy's. Beware of mosquitoes - stock up on DEET (though at some point I was craving a canister of Agent Orange).

Tippy's is very cool. You need a ride to get there tho. Cocodimama - great location, but overpriced for the service. How can you bring COLD racks of lamb to a customer?!

Except of course if you're departing runway 28 Curacao and the Tower instructs you "left turn after takeoff, join left downwind, intercept PJG radial 035 outbound, report radial and distance when crossing 3000ft". The moving map is worth exactly zero in that case.

Where are you staying in Eleuthera? If around Governor's'Harbor I can recommend you a great bar / restaurant (and another one that I'd avoid next time).

I probably didn't explain correctly - your ticket WILL have a return date on it, not just an OPEN remark. However it will be in a tariff that allows you to change the return date freely having to pay only the processing fee. Having a deep discount ticket you MIGHT be able to change it but...

You can pay the 150 fee if the ticket is "open" which means being in a tariff category that allows changes up to the intended day of travel, as opposed to open as in "no defined return date". ie a Y, W, E or S booking that can be amended only for the date change fee whereas a V, L Q etc class...
