The pilot clung to the overturned aircraft for hours before he was rescued. The TR-1 stayed afloat until it was salvaged.

This way we minimized the amount of time over "Blue water". We recommend wearing a good life preserver, not one of the cheap airline ones, from the time you get in to the airplane until you land. Also having a PLB, a Marine VHF radio and a good strobe light all strapped to the life preserver is also recommended. Finally, a small bag with water dye marker, signaling mirror, rope, knife and a bottle of drinking water finishes the survival gear. I personally don't carry a life raft since it will probably go down with the airplane if we have to ditch. There is a saying within survival experts: If it is strapped to your body it is survival gear. Everything else is camping gear.

We took a friends old cessna 310 down to st thomas last december. Lots of blue water between turks and caicos and st thomas. Did you hug the coast of the dominican republic or just go blue water? What kind of safety equipment did you bring? Thanks,Scott On Jan 5, 2014, at 3:58 AM, Galin Hernandez wrote: It was.

This is the type of adventure the KIS airplanes are tailor made to do. As always we had a blast and are already thinking about a December 2014 trip.
