I'm an avid Bahamas pilot as my boss has a boat which he has been moving around the islands of the Bahamas for the past few years. He decided to take the boat a little further down the island chain and we ended up flying to Dominican Republic! I had never been to DR before so I was excited to check out this country, and have a new flying experience. The flight was relatively easy...we had favorable tail winds so it was about 2.5hrs to our fuel stop in Exumas and then another 2 hours to our La Romana, DR. The employees at the FBO (Servair) at La Romana/Caso De Campo airport were amazing and extremely helpful. They assisted with all our paperwork, customs/immigration, flight planning, etc.
I found it very cool that once we left Miami Center and checked in with Santo Domingo approach ...the controllers were speaking Spanish to the Spanish speaking aircraft! I'm looking forward to our next Republica Dominicana adventure! Weeepa!
