Aaron,
I'm glad you survived your flight :>)
My first experince with a puddle jumper many years ago was similar...I was sure I was going to die but it was the calm demeanor of the other passengers and pilot that prevented me from making a fool of myself.
Having now been on many small planes, I actually enjoy the ride and the views.
You're right, Isla Nena doesn't do much "hand holding" but we found them to provide good service and I found the pilots to be top notch. We took off from Vieques in a very strong cross wind that I was sure was going to blow us off the runway before we became airbourne. Of course the pilot knew better than I and I was impressed with his skill.
I figure that the pilot isn't going to take chances since his but is on the line as well.
I think that, now that you've done this once, you'd have no trouble with it the next time and might even enjoy it some.
I don't think you'd find the ferry experience any better...at least the flight is quick.
