Tiguaair is a one-man-band who flies his C172 around the country for charter. Francisco, the son of the owner of Ahi bar in Santiago. Really nice fella and a good pilot.
There is absolutely no way you can make money from a single engine light aircraft here in the DR, even with all the correct certificates. So many have tried and almost all have failed.
My plane is my toy. An expensive one at that. I share it with my Dad and we occasionally take people flying who contribute towards the costs.
We have recently been approached by the IDAC, the Dominican airworthiness authority to become part of the DR's Civil Air Patrol and the gov will assist us with some of our fees such as parking, fuel and maintenance. We are waiting for further details and hope it comes to fruition.
