Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, P.R. 1956 to 1959 & again 1988 to 1990. Navy Flying Club with an Aztec, C210, C172 & C150. Loved the approach to Culebra.

El señor X SERAS BIEMVENIDA Y SE QUE TE VA A GUSTAR. MI ISLA ES BELLA. ESPERO EN EL SEÑOR PUEDAS VENIR PRONTO. DIOS TE BENDIGA JUNTO A LOS TUYOS EN EL NOMBRE DE JESUS. AMEN🌴🌷⭐🌷🌴
Que video tan bueno y la musica excelente. No soy piloto pero me gusta ver estos videos y ver las instrucciones en la parte de arriba de la pagina. Culebra es una belleza de isla.
My view is that you would be hard pressed to find a more beautiful traffic pattern in the world than the one at Isla Grande (TJIG). Left base over El Morro is just amazing... Safe travels!
I'm almost done with my private pilot and have been to Culebra three times now (my former boss owns a house down there). Landing at the airport gives me shivers every time! Nice work!
+Andrew Anderson all part of the scary stage of learning to fly. Just keep going and I promise things get much easier. The more you learn, the more comfortable you are with what's going on in and outside of the cockpit. Just keep going and you will break through this barrier. What you are feeling is normal. Wish you success with your training!
If you find yourself too fast, just do a Forward Slip in the turn, just hit top rudder for it..remove rudder on the flare..If floating too much in the flare, just take the flap handle and raise flaps to half and push nose down while doing it..the nose on low wingers will raise when flaps are raised..Bush Pilots Tricks i learned there in PR while visiting in 2002..
Hola Westley, lo mas fácil es comprar un pasaje en Vieques Airlink. Ellos hacen la misma ruta ("River" transition going east and "Tango" transition coming back to the west. Saludos...
excelente video, voy en dos semanas hacia alla y tenia planiado hacer ese viaje a culebra, una pregunta haciendo el tango transition como me doy cuenta cual es carolina mall desde el aire ya que no soy de puerto rico y aunque he ido varias veces no estoy muy familiarizado con algunas landmarks
Hola! Varias formas de llegar a Plaza Carolina. Cuando vienes de culebra vas a ir a el Faro de Fajardo. Desde el Faro vas a seguir la Carretera #3 hacia el este manteniendo 2,000 pies. Cuando le pases a el parque de pelota de Carolina miras un poco mas adelante y vas a ver como en la Carr. 3 hay una interconeccion grande (puede ir a Google Earth y verlo antes de volar). Si miras a la derecha vas a ver el mogote de cemento (es el parking de Plaza Carolina). Cuando le pases por encima a Plaza Carolina, vas a virar a la derecha directo a la torre de control de TJSJ (Aeropuerto Internacional). Otra opción es que entres las coordenadas de Plaza Carolina en tu GPS (18 23'31.74"W/65 58'29.81"W). Otra opción es que cuando te pasen de San Juan Center (pasando el Yunque y sobre la Carretera #3) a la torre le solicites ir "direct to tower". Así no tienes que ir hasta Plaza Carolina. Esto va a depender de el trafico saliendo de la pista 10 de TJSJ. Si no hay nada o si te quieren sacar rápido, es posible que el controlador te lo pueda dar. Te ahorras un poco de tiempo pero no es seguro. Exito y buen viaje! Saludos!
manoblass What were you flying in and where did you rent from? I'm going in a couple of weeks. Arland Miller I've got around 250hrs, instrument rated, and I'm looking for an FBO or someone at Isla Grande that allows C172s rentals to Culebra.
korbybagoli Sorry for the late reply but here it goes. I am flying my own plane. I believe North Shore Aviation is one of the few local outfit that rent planes here in PR. I don't think they have a twin for rent but I would recommend you contact them directly and make sure. They may. Safe travels...
Thanks Manny and glad you are looking into taking flight lessons. Not sure on which schools provide instruction using the VA benefits. There are two types of schools: part 61 and part 141. The federal government has a really big book of regulations called Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) where they detail how flight instruction must be provided in order to be approved by the FAA. In short, part 141 will be a highly structured program better tailored for the professional pilot track. Part 61 is a more flexible program that allows smaller schools to provide instructions to those with work and familiy considerations and need to go at a more flexible pace. In Isla Grande Airport, I believe you have both types. I believe the only part 141 program left is provided by the Interamerican University program. They would most likely be able to provide instruction with some type of Veteran benefits. Would suggest you call them first. In terms of part 61, there are at least three schools which I will leave up to you to look up. I have not used any so not able to provide an opinion. Please be advised that last year a school no longer in business folded operations and taking tens of thousands from student deposits. Buyer beware. The third option that fall under part 61 is to hire a private Certified Flight Instructor that owns his own plane or has access to a plane for instruction. Good luck and hope to see your own flying videos on youtube very soon. Safe travels!
+dbsshadow Depends on where you depart. Main three spots are from San Juan International, Isla Grande Airport (mostly a general aviation airport in the heart of the hotel district in San Juan) and Ceiba (close to where you pick up the ferry. There are several ways to do it: 1) Commercial Scheduled Airline (Vieques Air Link and Flamenco Air), Non-Scheduled/Air Taxi/Charter. The prices will of course vary from where you leave. I would recommend that is you are coming from the US into the International Airport you just connect via one of the scheduled airlines. If San Juan will be your home base, even if you have a car, I would recommend flying out of Isla Grande. Price/person one way would be approx $75 vs $45 if leaving from Ceiba but you avoid the over one hour drive each way and plus you get a nice flight over the north eastern coast and the rain forest on your way back. The option of the non scheduled/airtaxi will again depend from where you depart but it does provide you with greater flexibility at an increased cost. Hope this helps and enjoy Culebra!

Amazing video! awesome flying! thank you.
Nice video, Thanks for sharing ...enjoyed very much.
Nice video men, keep the good job
Great that turn at el Morris reminded me of my IGFS days. All those T and G
My view is that you would be hard pressed to find a more beautiful traffic pattern in the world than the one at Isla Grande (TJIG). Left base over El Morro is just amazing... Safe travels!
Excelente vídeo !!
Awesome video, love it
+Augusto Lugo Thanks!
Wow I am speechless
Very nice!

Lo más q me gusto fue la música
👍👍
Chulería ese approach en CPX me encanta, buen video que vengan mas.
Hermoso. ...
Thanks. Do not charter. I fly for fun. Safe travels...

+David Brown, thanks for the tip! Sold the Baron and now flying a C185 and enjoy slipping into Culebra and other spots in the area. Safe travels!
EXCELLENT!!! What scenery is the San Juan area? Most realistic I've ever seen.
Beautiful views!!!! Do you charter to culebra?
saludos no se si eres de puertorico tipo pero ese video esta super parapelo mano te guillastes
😎👍
¡N'ITIDO! Dime ¿como hiciste para lo de la cámara? Ese avión no la trae empotrada...
Nflight hace un aditamento para montar una cámara tipo GoPro en casi cualquier lugar en el avión. Buscalos en el web. Saludos!
Me gustaría darme ese vuelo! Cuanto vale y como nos podemos comunicar para hablar sobre eso?
Hola Westley, lo mas fácil es comprar un pasaje en Vieques Airlink. Ellos hacen la misma ruta ("River" transition going east and "Tango" transition coming back to the west. Saludos...
No ils holds. Surprised with all the jet traffic. This regional got priority interesting
