Today it's Nassau - Chub Cay, a flight of only 18 minutes, but with a heavy laden Gooney still a challenge.
At dawn, the loading is finished.. Let's go!!
Lining up runway 14 Nassau... Tailwheel locked, landinglights ON, cowl flaps TRAIL, clearance recieved... Set take-off power!
Tucking up the gear. Never evenly on a Dak...
After a 180deg turn, leaving the the Nassau control zone.
Arriving at Chub Cay, entering downwind.
... turning base.
(note the 'signatures' of the Freeflow Bahamas scenery- designers!)
On finals..
Tricky landing with stiff X-wind from the right!
(have to pay 3 landing fees...
)
Unloading cargo and fueling-up for South Bimini (MYBS). We will be leaving again within the next 30 mins.
