Yes ! more from my trip to the sun, whilst there it was nice to see just how many British designed aircraft are used for ‘island hopping’ the third photo is from Puerto Rico, all the others are from St Maarten, a bit of sun for a wintry evening …

Interesting to see the tropical blue colour of the sea reflecting on the undersides of a couple of the BN2s.

Gentlemen ! Thank you all for your nice comments ! its all in the title cloud 9 !
A little aside from the aircraft …. the bar … the ‘world famous Sunset Bar’ …. a little fact for those not yet visiting this aviation mecca … in my photo below is the bar, from my hotel room balcony, the fence railings that run around the outside are ‘wired for sound’ at each table there is a speaker constantly tuned to ‘air traffic’ which I thought was supurb ! sitting there having a drink or three and knowing whats going on …. you can’t get better than that ???

Stunning photos as ever Keith, and a catchy title for the thread…very clever!;)
Am somewhat jealous though that you have been to SXM, I so want to go there…still, I did have an experience of my own back in October whilst I was in Miami, as I chartered a private plane (Piper Lance), and took my girlfriend over to Bimini in the Bahamas for the day!:)
