This FlightNight will take us on a journey, South to North, of the Lesser Antillies. This is a volcanic island chain within the larger West Indies (Windies), "connecting" the bigger islands of the Greater Antillies like Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic to South America.
We will start at Point Salines (Maurice Bishop) International Airport (ICAO: TGPY) in Grenada, and work our way North and West up the island chain to a final destination of Captain Auguste George Airport (ICAO: TUPA) in the British Virgin Islands. If pressed for time we will cut this last leg and terminate at Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (ICAO: TUPJ)
We may go up to Angels 5 but no higher. Speed will be no higher than 350 kts Good weather is the norm at this time, so I'll be planning on running live weather.
Allowed aircraft, from FGUK Hangar:
Supermarine Spitfire Vb
North American P-51 Mustang III
Lockheed P-38L Lightning

Any stairway is a stairway to heaven if you’re clumsy enough.
If your shirt isn’t tucked into your pants, your pants are tucked into your shirt.
Your stomach thinks all potatoes are mashed.
Most of the sky is actually below your feet.
The object of golf is to play the least amount of golf.

I'm not thinking to hit my declared max for both elements at the same time. Up top we'll likely not exceed 315-320kts ground speed, and will only get close to 5K topping some of the mountains, then back down again. We won't be maintaining 5K for any duration. In general, will look to stay somewhat close to the terrain as we overfly it.
