Another month, another assignment, this time the "Windward Whirlwind" mail run between Castries, St Lucia and Point Salines, Grenada. What a fantastic flight with some challenging airports and a true Caribbean experience.

Thanks for allocating this one admin, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it! The only downside was not having a tradewind liveried PC12, but my second monthly flight is the return trip and I'll be using the Do228 for that one...looking forward to it already!
