Flying in Barbados
For those who like to holiday in Barbados - there are now aeroplanes for self fly hire there - a PA38, some PA28s, an Arrow, a light twin and some Archers and there is instruction too.
The company is called Coconut Airways (like the song).
I live in Barbados and think that it must be one of the few places in the world where having a licence can actually save one money, thanks to the glory of airport taxes - its not cheap to hire but a four people in a PA28 to St Lucia or Union from Barbados is less than the cost of a one person on a scheduled carrier.
Could be a nice holiday cruising around the islands - they are very variable in the Eastern Caribbean - and the mozzies are a resonable size not like the killer beasties that attacked me on Stella Maris a couple of weeks back (hint: be worried if the largest stock of items for sale in an FBO's shop is a range of insect repellants!)
