I'm planning a trip down to Bonaire for the first two weeks of August. I'm a private pilot, so now I'm looking to find a place to rent a single-engine plane, to do some island hopping. Are there any local flight schools or aircraft rental places? Also, does anyone have some good tips for places to visit by air?

When I was there in Aug 2000, I inquired at the airport and there was a guy with a 172 that basically shuttled people who were bumped from ALM (he ran a brisk business, I understand). I had heard that he may have become DiviDivi or one of the other local charter services. You may want to inquire with Divi at DiviDivi.

I'll be on the island at the same time, Aug 6-19. I think it'll be fun to do some Caribbean island-hopping, although I'm a little hesitant flying single-engine over the ocean, so maybe there are some people out there who have some experience?

Boy this was a great thread. I posted a sort of redundant topic. Thanks to James Epley, I was pointed in the right direction.

I didn't know my simple post would spark such a discussion...;)

Pieter; did you manage to fly in Bonaire in August 2003 ?

Nope....But I will go back to the island, so all the help I can get is appreciated

There's a fellow by the name of Richard Burgers who works at the airport. He's a CFI and has a Cessna 172, operating out of the old terminal which is now the GA platform

Maybe someone on this group can help since there was some mention of renting aircraft in Caracas, Vzl. I am flying there commercially in Sept for a wedding and am hoping to find a place I can rent an aircraft - like a 172, 182 or similar.
