Planning to fly to Varadero, Cuba February 19 - 23, 2017 from Marathon Key, Florida. So far we have a Mooney signed up. But we need, at least, one RV to fly with us because we are trying to set up regular experimental fly ins to Cuba. We have contacted the Cuban Aviation Club and they have offered to let us use the old Varadero airport (KAWAMA) for fly ins. We want to show the Cuban aviation authorities examples of experimental aircraft, like the RV.
The RV would need to be set up for IFR and the pilot has to be IFR rated as only IFR flights are presently allowed to fly to Cuba, by the Cuban authorities.
If you are interested please email me at: [email protected]
Incidentally, there have been many flights by general aviation airplanes to Cuba but very, very few experimental. So you may be able to set a record as, for example, as the first RVxx
In addition we are trying to have the Cuban aviation authorities authorize VFR with flight following instead of having to file IFR.
