MP014 MMUN-MUCC - CBreuer - 06-06-2010
And another MP Session went by on another Saturday with some great airports to pass by. Normally the first leg would have required a faster aircraft as the first airport was about 280 NM away from Cancun. My personal decision was it to take the Super King Air and throttle up to maximum. I thought by the time I would arrive at Playa Baracoa the other pilots would be ready to go. Damn was I wrong
They almost hadn't have time to switch to the slower aircraft by then. 
So it wasn't a touch and go, but a full stop to wait for Pär to get ready. Unfortunately Vic had to leave early, which only kept Pär Stefaan and me flying along, with later on Pär dropping out as well due to 'technical reasons'
So Stefaan and me continued to Jardines Del Rey. But it is about time to show you some of the pictures.
Initial flight plan called for FL220, but we all climbed to FL240, and so here we go - ehem, fly.
Some cloudy weather en-route.
Now we have some great weather...
And again some scattered clouds...
Then it was time to descend to Playa Baracoa - and it was a quick descend flying the Barbers pole
On final to RWY 02 and the guys are already there.
Taxi to the ramp and on the right side you can see Pär, who already had switched to the Kodiak, whilst Stefaan also stayed in his Conquest.
After the short stop it was time to move along and so we departed on RWY 02 again and climbed to 1500 feet this time. Unfortunately the visibility had decreased a little bit and it became hazy.
En-route to Varadero MUVR.
And on short final to Varadero RWY 06 a little bit too low according to the PAPI...
I think shortly thereafter Pär dropped out and so only Stefaan and me were left for the remainder of the Session.
And then there was another low approach, this time it was Las Brujas. For some reason I had forgotten that I had installed a very nice looking scenery. Although I had some big problems taking pictures I managed to take at least a few...
Then we arrived at Jardines Del Rey and there again Stefaan and I had the same (beautiful) scenery installed.
There we are next to each other on the ramp in front of the small terminal.
Hopefully next weekend Pär has solved his problems and Vic will be able to join for some time longer, so we can complete the flight together and fly to Miami.
Until then have a great week and take care.

My addition of screenshots...
Christian and I lined up for a formation takeoff at Cancun.
I'm breaking off to the left to head towards Playa Baracoa while Par is taking off and Vic is still on the ramp giving us some headstart knowing he'll catch us up pretty quickly with his Citation X.
Enroute to our first destination, Playa Baracoa, cruising at FL240.
Playa Baracoa, with Christian coming in for a landing.
We were chatting quite alot during the flight, so at Las Brujas, I forgot to get lower for a T/G.
I decided to circle around while Christian still had a chance to do his T/G.
Final destination of this session, Cayo Coco, MUCC - Jardines Del Ray.
The pearly white beaches on this beautiful island in central Cuba are wellknown to be one of the most beautifull beaches in the world.
They are definitely on my todo list of places to visit...
Now the MP gang has some tanning to do this week.
On Wednesday we'll head over to Trinidad for a night at the Casa de la Trova, one of the most famous places in Cuba.
Every night local bands play music there and all the locals gather to listen and dance... great atmosphere... Son, Salsa, Bachatta, Merenge...

Most definitely on top of my "to visit" list, especially since we've started Salsa dancing about four years ago.
Gotta say that next to New York and LA style, the Cuban style has stolen my heart and remains my big favourite.
See you guys next week...

Hi Christian and Stefaan,
Great photos! Sorry I couldn't stay for the full flight, hopefully will be able to do so next week.
Best regards,
Vic
