Once upon time I landed close to dusk and wanted something to eat. I was told the kitchen closed at 3:30. I said, 'Coke-aine'. She responded, "how do you want your steaks cooked?"
Thanks for posting. Major work on the airport I see, any reason why? Word is that it's work paid for by a past owner named Joe who is coming back home soon? Any new?
+Johnny Rocco i'm not sure who paid to improve it, this was my second time landing here. We're based in California and don't make it out to the Bahamas much so we're not really "in the know" of who owns it .. The runway was smooth and the airport was fenced off and well kept up from what i remember.. this video was taken Dec 31 2015 we were enroute to Nassau from Exuma.
+P _VEEZ You flew a Cessna from Calif to the Bahamas? That had to be some fun. Anyway thanks for answering back. FYI Joe was the drug dealer who ran the island from78 to 82 moving tons of coke into the usa using small aircraft. He got life plus 25 but may get out on day. He may still have some ownership rights on the cay, but who knows. They made a movie about it, Blow. Thanks and be safe in your flying. Did a great job with that crosswind landing by the way.
+Johnny Rocco Yeah we take that airplane everywhere.. i've also seen the movie blow.. one of my favorites, it was the reason i wanted to land there.. i was under the impression the guys name was Carlos but then again i'm not in the drug business lol.. thanks for the kudos on the landing.. you gotta give respect to the guys that fly there everyday as a job. Beautiful scenery though to say the least!
+P _VEEZ Joe was what we called him here in the states. Carlos is his legal name. Not much dope flying going on now days in the islands. Don't need to fly when you can just drive it across the border from Mexico. Moving the dope thru Mexico killed flying jobs for many good old boys here in the deep south USA
Nice video of a man landing an airplane. A little info as to the field, why you where there, etc. would have been nice. Otherwise, a nice video of a man landing an airplane, just like the other thousand videos of a man landing an airplane. Just saying...
well...i made this video 5 years ago. I flew to the Bahamas in that airplane from California.. and back. Hopefully my future videos will be more engaging for you. Unfortunately creating content isn't my full time job so i wouldn't hold your breathe.
