Well, we finally have all the U.S. documentation required to fly his Cirrus SR20 to Havana Cuba and today received Cuban landing permit to arrive on Sept 4th and return on Sept 7th. We will be the 1st U.S. registered Cirrus ever to land in Cuba. A senior representative from the Cuban Civil Aviation Authority might meet us upon arrival to talk about coordinating future GA trips from the U.S. to Cuba. We have also been asked by General Aviation News to document the trip for publishing in one of their editions. I will be the PIC for the flights since my friend is not instrument rated and you can only fly IFR to Cuba. I have flown his airplane on many occasions, the last time was in December when I helped ferry it from the Dominican Republic to Miami. As of today, and barring an unforeseen mechanical issue, the only thing that might prevent this from happening would be very bad weather. Some time after we get return I want to fly my KIS4 there and become the 1st U.S. registered experimental aircraft into Cuba. For now keep this fairly low key until it hits the news. And yes, my wife (Millie) will make the trip with us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kis-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/KIS-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kis-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kis-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
