I decided to take 6X6 with me on a trip for work recently. I fly a corporate jet out of Washington D.C. Dulles and thought it would be a good opportunity for 6X6 to put on some serious miles. We had parked our aircraft in San Juan while the owner vacationed. 6X6 journey begins with an airline flight to San Juan
Early morning in Northern Va:
Parking at our home FBO (fixed base operator) this is where we hangar the aircraft get fuel do maintenance etc:
Hanging out in the boarding area for Jet Blue:
We arrive in San Juan and start getting the Jet ready for departure. The airplane is a 900EX and is built by Dassault a French manufacturer:
Next to the FBO in San Juan there is a freight operator that flies old DC3s. They have a few airframes that they use for parts:
We take off from San Juan and head to the Island of Nevis to pick up the passengers:
We are arrive in Nevis and are greeted by our handler and ramp agent Omel and Calif. We've worked with them for years and they are like family:
Latitude: 17°12'17.66"N
Longitude: 62°35'29.82"W
A shot at the welcome sign. You can see our aircraft in the reflection:
I tried to take a picture of 6X6 with the sun setting in the back ground. unfortunatly a gust of wind rolled him off the wing while I was snapping the picture:
