Air Caribe vs WinAir

Oh, good to see. I thought I read in his latest book that he was mad at them for not giving him landing privileges. Will have to re-read the book. I guess we can ditch the spruce goose idea then. Aint nobody bringing that baby over Le Tormente and walking away from it!

I do believe that Mr. Buffett may be rated to land at the SBH airport, but he has never received permission to 'land', as he sometimes prefers, in the water - so you're both correct.

I've seen N208JB, a single-engine float-equipped Cessna 208 (registered to a very Buffettesque company) at the airport more than once, and flying touch-and-go's more than once, but never seen it in the water. (Not to be confused with N210JB, registered to a very boring sounding company) which I have also seen in SBH).

Right next to me, stuck to the wall next to my desk, is a picture of N208JB parked at the end of the SBH runway.

By the way, and as you may know, the Cessna 208 is also known as the Cessna Caravan, and it is the plane that Air Caraibes flies, as discussed above.
