Dear All,

I will be in Barbados, next week, and I am wondering if any of you can recommend any flying opportunities.

I am current on R44 and interested in SFH or flying with a local safety pilot.

All recommendations of who to contact and where to go would be most welcome.

Thanks very much,

John

This is your only choice (http://www.horizonheli.com/CONTACT_US.htm) and although they may not be conducting commercial operations, the R44 may still be around.

SFH - I think not, and then there is the question of how you fly with a safety pilot where compensation is required but no AOC exists. Your best bet is to wonder down to the South Ramp of Grantley Adams Int'l Airport and talk to either someone at the hanger or the flying club who may well give you a bit more info. It would be interesting to know if the R44 is even still there.

Suggest that you pm "Sandy Helmet" or "Sandyhelmet" on this forum. It's his show.
