TowerDog. I once couldn't get on a Eastern Metro Twin Otter from St Thomas to San Juan as they were all full. So I went over to the cargo side of the airport where I talked to Five Star DC-3 pilots who gave me and my girlfriend a lift to San Juan. At about 50 ft the co-pilot got out of his seat, and I flew it to San Juan and did the landing on runway 10. Wasn't by any chance you was it?
Ha, not me.
I did however fly for Eastern Metro Express on the Twin Otter from 10-86 to 2-88.
Flew DC-3s early 1986 for Aero Virgin Island and for Virgin Island International Airways in 1985.
Also flew for Virgin Air in 1985. (Branson bought out the name to avoid confusion, then they became Air St. Thomas, or St. Thomas Air.)
I knew the guys at Four Star, but did not work there, my ex did..

4 years in the islands flying often 100 hours a month and living on a sailboat. Good life.
