so Nick what would sum up your experience of how you feel about flying in the Bahamas a lot of over water floss definitely some both beautiful waters in the world good no concealing that's for sure I agree a lot of people think it's you know they question flying over water in a single-engine airplane what's your opinion on that well it's a touchy subject I guess but I mean I know we operate the turbine power plant is a very reliable at operating in the park 135 we definitely applied by the logical and roof it'll pop exactly that's true flying a turbine powered airplane when you burn jet fuel it's a lot more reliable than flying a piston quickly improving well Nick it was nice hearing for me enjoy the rest of your day going into Staniel key yep um 30 minutes up ice it's a beautiful day out here well catch you later alright people have a good trip enjoy - thank you yeah that was a Nick my friend Nick he's a flying the caravan into you stand your cue right now but one limitation with the TBM that I really don't like is your inertial separator right here what the inertial separator does is when you turn it on it basically has a scoop inside that redirects a lot of the airflow it basically would turn it on and it in heavy precip well when you come down lower so if you ingest anything it will kick it out instead of sucking it all up into your engine but the limitation with it is see we're in the descent right now we're going about 240 knots you have to slow the airplane up under 200 knots to turn it on so we got the power we're pulling it back here and we're pulling the power back to get the airplane slowed up under 200 knots to turn on the inertial separate this island up here now we're entering the Exuma chain this first little area I want to show you is the is Norman's key Norman's key back in the 1980s was a haven for drug runners but as you can see Norman's key has been all redone it is a whole new runway they really made it a lot nicer very strong fit for a video 551 big bang as you guys can see you got a lot of sand bars out right now what's nice about the timing of this plate is it's low tide so as you can see look at all the beautiful sandbars and all the different colors of the water this is a section right here is actually one of my favorites coming down this chain here just south the Norman's so guys what you're going to see off your left wing right now is the Exuma National Park headquarters you're going to see all the different sail boats anchored on the channel there it's a pretty cool site to see right here then I'll get a peek these bearish or pine are only one big spaniel illegal wolf so right there that's the park headquarters let this next island you're going to see is Tyler Perry's Island the next round I'm going to show you here is going to be one of the most popular islands that you're going to want to see it's Johnny Depp's Island the actor what's cool is when he's here you'll actually have a big black and white pirate flag up and that'll teach Brownback that on top of this hill I see that quite often it doesn't look like he's there today but I'm going to show you where it's at right here gonna be off of the left side right here guys starting right here this is all Johnny Depp's island that's his main beach right there that he usually is on and uses and he also got married here to Amber Heard right over here is where the wedding was on the sand beach okay pitch Barron clarity I feel okay alright guys if you guys got a few dollars to spend this little mansion here in the table over yonder key is about five hundred thousand a week to rent that house a little beautiful out on there alright guys and this is Staniel key right down here is the Yacht Club that's where I always fly the caravan in to edit right there is by far my favorite spot and all the Bahamas this beach right here past Daniel key this is where they have really big iguanas that's gonna go on a beach right there you go over and see these really big iguanas right over there on that beach so right here guys this is cave key it's a private airstrip and I've been in there before because I'm gonna show you what's right next cave key that is this island right here very famous island called Musha key this is David Copperfield's private island I used to fly David Copperfield in and out of there many times and if State overnight actually a few times on it it's a beautiful island and over here is rudder cut I also have an old video where I've landed of video here at rotor cut where I've landed a caravan there at Coral strip and that was pretty exciting that's rudder cut Oh guys we're about eight minutes out from Great Exuma I wasn't going to I get what I get got it's been fun showing you guys the different islands here on the Exuma chain as you can see there's no difficult Roach procedures here and they basically just duck and weave and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the islands alright guys so Exuma international here is not a control tower but they have a person that sits around and gives you advisory so we'll just did an answer position here exumai you had a TBM we are 18 miles to the northwest inbound Exuma aircraft wanna come on important 1/8 mile taking the course on an aircraft right that's a TBM we're in November 85 one tango Bravo or 72 the Northwest and bond from opa-locka TBM 850 a pod one time -
