I don't think any of those birds are capable of actually landing there! I'm guessing they bed down at TNCM for the duration of their stay.

Hadn't planned on any trips up there, but I live right on 220N now, so driving or riding would be my choice. Something happening up there next month?

Hey Tom, when they did the St. Barths airshow for the first time in 2011, they did indeed base out of TNCM (Saint-Martin). Last year, however, with more aircraft, they based out of TQPF (Anguilla).

No, nothing special here, but our locomotive (N&W 611) is pulling an excursion from Greensboro to Roanoke and back. Just was wondering if you and the wife may have signed up to ride it. Greensboro is an new venue and I remembered you live there. Maybe you can see her when she is there (April 23-24).

I am the Deputy Directory of a transportation museum, most of it rail, but includes aviation, automobiles and maritime. Our locomotive is heading down to where Tom lives to run excursions in April. Look up N&W 611. You'll see her. TONS of stuff on YOUTUBE. We just overhauled her last year after being parked for 20+ years.

PM me a signup link and if I can afford it, I just might do it. It'll just be me though, Trena and I are recently divorced.
