Must have been a great trip! Thanks for sharing the video. Reminded me of when I use to work flight ops. First day on the job and had to call the Cuban Civil Aviation authority for an overflight permit for a life flight trip. I'm thinking I screw this up and get the jet shot down I'm going to loose my job. All went well, just a $325 charge on the corp AMEX and got a confirmation number.
It was very easy. We filed a request with Caribbean Flying Adventures (one of the organizations that can deal with the Cuban government), they provided the permit number a day or two later, and then we included that number in our international flight plan.
I find your admissions(intakes) of the airplane, about Cuba and the Caymans super-duper. We fly every year after Cuba and take there vacation. There we have flown by old, small Russian double-deckers and a helicopter around(about). This was very adventurous, because the machines were ancient. By the way, my father was a pilot with the military, so maybe I fly so with pleasure. However, this goes only on vacation. For own small machine I lack the money.
hello, nice video, this is 2 years ago, have you over fly Cuba recently, thanks in advance

@pavelavietor1 Yes, we flew over again in 2010, on a return visit to Grand Cayman.

Was there a lot of red tape to get the
flyover permit or was it fairly easy?
