VATCAR Caribbean Tropic Vacation Event Dated 12/16/11

[CAY017-Aharon]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Here are world's exclusive screenshots of VATCAR CARIBBEAN TROPIC VACATION event at ABC islands on 12/16/11!!! As all of you know that I have strict policy of using livery for each Caribbean island to honor each Caribbean island' hard working VATCAR controllers for all VATCAR events, I had for example used Air Aruba livery for Aruba event, historic Viasa livery for MDSD event, Air Jamaica livery for MKJP event, BWIA livery for TTPP event, Aeromexico livery for TJSJ event (Puerto Rico do not have airline of its own), and so on.

Took me long time to search on avsim and flightsim to look for gorgeous livery for ABC islands event!!!!

Here is very beautiful sunrise flight from MWCR Owen Roberts International Airport located in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands to TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport located in Oranjestad, Aruba to participate in VATCAR Caribbean tropic Vacation Event dated 12/16/11

Super gorgeous wing view from gate 1 of MWCR

Very nice Aharon

[CAY1246- Diarra]

Very nice shots Aharon. I never knew MWCR had that amount of runway length for that sized aircraft.

[CAY017-Aharon]

Diarra,

Thanks for kind words. Actually 744 with light fuel load will have no problem handling any 7,000 ft runway:):):) I have seen 747 taking off from CYYJ runway that is also 7,000 ft long.
