Exploring the Carribean
Travelling in times of Covid
Dear friends,
It feels like an eternity, but yes, we were able to go on our next adventure. Since covid cut our wings for last year’s planned Americas tour, we decided to do half this year and could go everywhere with one exception.
We now travel with our new “baby” the shiny and new Pilatus PC-24 jet and are therefore able to get around about twice as fast as before and fly substantially further than with the beloved „Töffli“, the Pilatus PC-12 NG.
Our route took us across the North Atlantic and we focused on stops around the Caribbean, the Northern part of Latin and Central America before returning to Switzerland over the Azores, thanks to favorable winds.
Check out all the daily blogs and dive into our adventures.
