Title: Caribbean Tour 2011
Post by: AirbusGuy350 on June 11, 2011, 07:22:30 pm
As I have just finish the school year I am going to fly X-Plane more and have decided I will be doing a multi segment tour of the caribbean. So before I begin I would like to ask what people would like to see. I am going to fly one plane throughout the tour and have still not determined what it is so if you have suggestions feel free to leave them here. My one requirement is that it should be able to land at all the destinations so no A380’s :P. I have a rough outline of the tour but if anyone wants to see specific destinations leave them here.

If there is no A380, at least do a 747 :P :P :P :P :P

What about a CRJ-900? Better yet, a Caribbean Airlines A320 or 737-800

Because LIAT a caribbean operator flies them and so do other caribbean operators. But don't worry there will be a couple surprise aircraft changes in the trip ;)

I'll try the route with an A321 sometime in July. I'll make a thread about it then.
Good luck flying!
