Leaving Jamaica by turbine DC-3

2013-3-20_9-23-31-709

Crossing the Mexican Gulf on leg 224 out of 300 on the present world tour. Next stop is Nueva Gerona on Cuba. Today flying one of the modern modified versions of the venerable Douglas DC-3. This is a Basler BT-67 which basically is a DC-3 airframe fitted with modern turboprop engines, modified wing and fuselage, modern avionics and some other stuff.

Beginning to see the end of the world tour. A few more flights around the Mexican Gulf and then back into the US again in Texas. Then north along the US East coast, via Canada, Greenland to Iceland and then all the way across Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and Russia to Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea and finally back to London City airport. Expecting to arrive in London in June. Very long tour flying at 200-300 knots started in early October last year.
