Picture of the Day: Flying to Jamaica

By General Aviation News Staff · May 10, 2023 ·

Scott Silverman submitted this photo and note: “This is my 2020 Scoda Super Petrel LS amphibious seaplane on the beach near Negril, Jamaica. This is a great cross-country traveler. I flew down from the US over Cuba to Cayman Brac, then on to Jamaica. Water is so clear here it’s like landing in a giant swimming pool. Jamaica is very open to GA aircraft and has many secure aerodromes with newly paved runways. I’m down here for the winter season and will be heading back to the US in the spring.”

    Nicely done, Sir – that truly is flying in style/with freedom.

    It was a dream realized after many years of planning and saving money.
