Around the World in a (Simulated) Airplane, Part 2 : Cuba to Jamaica via the Cayman Islands
See the above region on Google Maps So, I'm planning to go around the world, starting in Miami - and I'm still in Cuba... I'd better step on it! In part 1 , we left off on a cluster of little islands off the north coast of Cuba, east of Havana. While heading south, halfway through crossing the narrow side of Cuba, someone in my household turned on her hair dryer, and overloaded the circuits: the computer rebooted and I lost the flight, grrr! But in the Grand Scheme of Things, it was perhaps a good thing: it motivated me to learn how to pilot a faster airplane, the slightly-larger Beechcraft Baron 58 . I can now zip along at speeds around 200 knots (230.156 mph or 370 Km/h), instead of chugging along at a meager 130 knots (150 mph or 240 Km/h.)
