Pictures of the day: Flying with family

By General Aviation News Staff · September 13, 2016 ·

Frequent contributor Rafael Cortes sent in these photos taken by his mother while flying last weekend “just for fun.”

The pictures are of El Morro Fort in Old San Juan, and the final approach for the Isla Grande Airport (TJIG) in Puerto Rico.

“Flying with family and seeing these views are some of the most rewarding things of becoming a pilot,” he notes.

    Such beautiful pictures, you need to take pictures of the island for all kinds of reasons. This way you can attract more people to come Puerto Rico. All Caribbeans should take photos everywhere. You have heaven on earth.
    We will be proud of our planet.

      I do just that! Visit my website sportpilotpr. com and enter the photos area, or visit my instagram (sportpilotpr), you will see lots of pictures I take all over the island, wherever I fly. I love this beautiful paradise. Thanks for the suggestion.
