  • This was my first time spotting in Nevis....sadly after the first flight the weather got a bit nasty. The wind started to pick up and basically messed up the last part of this video with all that wind in the microphone. At a point in time the controller on duty told me the wind was gusting at 26 knots which blew the dead cat right off of my mike :(. Beside the annoying wind you still have some great footage in the video...I was lucky to get more footage on a sunny day...enjoy :)
    To get to Nevis i have to do a 35 - 40 minute drive depending on traffic to the end of St. Kitts in the south to catch a car ferry, this service is the closest and takes the same 35- 40 minutes to reach Nevis then from there its a 15 minute drive to the Airport in Nevis !!!

    Beautiful airport and even better drive from the airport to the jetty to catch the ferry to St Kitts with a herd of sheep roaming on the road side.
    St Kitts airport though bigger and hosting International flights kind of lacks Nevis airport charm.
    Visited way back in 2007 to cober the security of ICC CWC 2007. Much love from India

      I believe you're gonna say this in the next video "Fantastic shots at Nevis Vance W. Amory International Airport in the Caribbean near St.Kitts located in the Atlantic Ocean a few miles away from Cuba, south of the Bahamas, distant from the Bermuda triangle a little close to the Gulf of Mexico mate."

    Awesome video. I remember bk in the day when the runway first got extended there was much much more traffic including Falcons and citations etc. But at 4000' plus a displaced threshold the runway really isn't long enough for anything above a king air or a beech 1900 (plus the dash 8s and atr 42). I have plenty of ideas of how tkpn can regain its former glory but local politicians never listen.
