Post subject: | Exclusive Review Of TNCA and TAPA Airport Sceneries |
Shalom and greetings all my pals, Presenting my exclusive review of Tropical Sims' Aruba and Antigua airport sceneries. Here are exciting results of "extremely lucky airport spotting photographer" (that is me) who took lots of screenshots of two airports TNCA Queen Beatrix International Airport located in Oranjestad, Aruba, TAPA V. C. Bird International Airport located on the island of Antigua five miles northeast of St. John's which is the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, and my plane that I was going to fly as pilot from TNCA to TAPA....... Me arriving at early morning on time to see this local Aruba airline 737 departing on early morning business commuting flight to Miami Nice view of terminal and now let me look for my plane!!! Found my plane at gate one Time for pre-flight inspection of my plane TNCA airport controllers informed me of bad weather affecting my flight route to TAPA and advised me to wait one or two hours until the storm cleared up so that meant extra time for me to take a nice stroll around the airport and take airport spotting photos........ Look there are two small planes used for ABC island shuttle service (ABC Islands mean Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao islands) Took a 5 minute helicopter ride to get entire view of whole TNCA Nice parking indicators for all types of planes!! Darn they moved my plane to waiting area to allow arriving cargo planes to dock and unload cargo as this 748F arrived from Amsterdam to unload Dutch cheese imports bounded for all restaurants and hotels as well as supermarkets Ahhh nice small local Bonaire airline commuter plane ready for flight to TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport WHOA WHOA WHOA New MONSTER ENGINES 777-200LR had arrived non stop from Anchorage to drop off Alaskans definitely in bad need for warm waters, warmth, and nice tan!!! New arrival from Amsterdam!!!
