My first flight was San Juan to St Lucia. I remember sitting down in the cockpit and then all of a sudden im at the runway. I dont know how the weight and balance got done or where the clearence came from or the walk around. We got cleared for take off and i rotated into the darkness. About the time we got to acceleration altitude, i remember going IMC. Next thing I know we start getting bounced around and theres a ton of rain hitting the windshield. The captain turned on the radar and it just has RED no green or yellow just red. I thought wow less than .1 into my first 121 flight and im going to kill everyone in a thunderstorm.
And a nice short runway to meet you in St. Lucia..... not to hijack the thread but my first 135 leg was from BQN (Aguadilla) to St. Lucia.... the captain that was flying with me never lets me forget my first "real" landing there.... caribbean flying was a blast..... hijack ended.
