Just back from the Caribbean, celebrating our anniversary on a cruise.
Did not expect to see much aviation (USA transits were both as evening fell), but these are glimpses of opportunity. Excuse picture quality.
Pictures taken on bus tours, through glass etc.
San Juan, Puerto Rico has two airports. The smaller one is right next to the harbour.
Caribbean 1328 N15BY
This Islander of Air Flamenco passed around a few times.
Caribbean 1358 N917GD
St Lucia has this small airfield, again near the harbour.
Caribbean c 2768
J6-AAR unsurprisingly, is an As350 of St Lucia Helicopters.
Caribbean c 2776 J6-AAR
The other two in the fleet J6-AAM, J6-AAQ
Caribbean 1466
St Maarten has a small airfield on the French side.
ATR's F-OMYM Air Antilles and F-OSIV Air Caraibes visible.
Caribbean c 2929 (2)
Caribbean c 2935
On the Dutch side, the bus passed the well known Princess Juliana Airport, sadly the Eastern end, not the well photographed beach at the West.
This Fokker 50 of Insel Air parked up. Now defunct, anyone know which ? I belive most are now stored in Curacao or scrapped.
Caribbean c 2955
A chance photo, overlooking St Thomas Bay, US Virgin Islands.
Twin Otter C-GCKB Kenn Borek operated by Seaborne AL.
Caribbean 1579 C-GCKB
Finally, a few shots from the terminal at the larger San Juan international Airport.
Caribbean 1603 N67886
Caribbean 1611 N273JB 1
Caribbean 1612 N587JB
Caribbean 1617 N763SW 2

Re: Caribbean glimpses
very nice Pete, looks like you had a good trip and saw more airfields than I did on my recent trip to Canada. It's a pain taking through glass on a coach but the plus side is that you're higher up so there are a few less obstructions, With these sort of photos I always think the content is the most enjoyable part even if they are not A1 quality. It's surprising what you see at times as well as you pass these places.
