Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.
I present our Puerto Rican fixed wing, two-engine aircraft circa 1982, complete with leaky ceiling. We piled inside this musty old baby with 8 other passengers and the pilot for a 30-minute jaunt over the mainland from San Juan to Isla Culebra. During the short flight over the Atlantic Ocean, I soon forgot about the potential for disaster. I mean, really. Check out that view.
