Look out Nassau, Irene's a comin!

[Astoroth]

Detached from USCG Miami to Nassau, Bahamas in advance of Hurricane Irene, for disaster support.


Reaching the boundaries of Irene, still a long way to go:

In the soup now:

Turning for approach, 26 knot crosswinds and getting BUMPY:

Crabbing the approach just a wee bit:

On the ground safe and sound, as a King Air prepares to evacuate ahead of the storm:

AHHH, good times!

Jamie

Jamie, that's Eaglesoft's Cessna Citation X, with a downloaded Coast Guard repaint. My all time favorite small jet!

That's the one I have, but they have released a brand new 2.0 with even more bells and whistles.
