Our resort is right next to Dubai's big skydiving centre, surprisingly in the middle of the urban area, and the drone from the climbing PT6s of a couple of old Twin Otters goes on for much of the day. They seem to have a very narrow column to climb in.....
Hope the trip with the family is going well.....and one week from today, I will be on board a Twin Otter for the first time in many years as Lady K and yours truly will be in the Caribbean arriving on the island of Saba followed by a visit four days later to the island of St. Barts.
Thus, we will have four short hops on Twin Otter aircraft operated by Winair via their small hub at SXM. And I'm sure we'll also manage a visit to the Sunset Beach Bar & Grill located at the western end of the runway at SXM.
