Emergency Landing..
I am a new member who is thankful to be alive today.
This past weekend, our chartered Challenger 300's cabin and cockpit filled with smoke during take-off. Unfortunately, the plane was too heavy to return back to our departure airport due to high fuel loads . By the grace of God, we were able to complete an emergency landing at SXM about 7 minutes later. My family is unsure as to what caused the fire/smoke as it remains under investigation. I think that sound of the oxygen mask compressors (at least I think that's what the sound was) will haunt me and my family until the end of time.
I'm so thankful to the skilled pilots that brought us back down safely!
My wife & children have never looked more beautiful.
Truly Blessed,
JPR
