Re: planes to Culebra
Culebra, Puerto Rico

WE fly Air Flamenco from Fajardo. Those pilots make that trip 3-4 times a day, and while approach and landing on Culebra is similar to an amusement ride, the planes and pilots are very capable. You should never have bad weather, and a rare chance of a little turbulence. The max speed on takeover with a loaded plane is app. 80mph, and these planes are very well maintained and cruise at 120. All the latest instruments and gps are on board.
They take great care to do it right, as their lives and business are on the line all the time.
Luggage and passenger are weighed so the planes are balanced correctly for max safety, etc.
In the event you may still be skittish(no need actually), the flight is only 15 minutes, and yhou can keep eyes closed for the flight.. but it is beautiful!!
The landing is a pleasant experience. I have photos of the flight from the plane if u want.
