Additionally, the pilots are some of the finest around. I and a pilot friend flew with VAL from Culebra to Isla Grande. A major squall was threatening the entire northeast Caribbean. The VAL pilot was on the phone to SJU weather, hung up and said, " We have a 10 minute window into Isla Grande, let's roll." We flew through some blinding rain, just north of Fajardo, but emerged approximately 15 miles east of SJU where, in the distance we could see a brilliant shaft of sunlight shining down onto the Isla Grande peninsula. The landing was silky smooth. I was just amazed.
