The Latest IYP Tours!
Monserrat Memories - A Remarkable and Exciting Tour Back in Time!
On the lovely green and friendly island of Montserrat, often referred to as the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean, the volcano Soufrière Hills rumbled to life in 1995 and began a series of eruptions that eventually destroyed the island’s capital Plymouth and buried it in 40 feet of mud. More then half of the population had to flee the island because their houses were destroyed. 19 people lost their lives during a severe eruption on the 25th of june 1997 which destroyed the airport Blackburne and the docking facilities and made the southern half of the island uninhabitable.

You bought an old DC-3 and you want to start a one-aircraft airline to fly tourists around in the beautiful scenic Caribbean, hopping from island to island. On June 22, 1997, you and your co-pilot are in the process of doing a number of thorough tests on the DC-3 you just bought. During a stopover at the island of St. Thomas, you receive a request to assist in what would develop to be a

serious natural disaster. There is a shortage of means of transport and you are requested to carry out a series of flights to evacuate the inhabitants of Montserrat, and to fly in emergency relief supplies from neighbouring islands.

You and your co-pilot don't hesitate for a moment and respond positively to the request. You're not very familiair with flying in the Caribbean but your co-pilot is and he/she will guide you throughout all 12 fantastic flights that comprise the Monserrat Memories Package.   more...



Fort St. John, British Columbia - Haines, Alaska
We're about to embark upon the seventh leg in our tour around the world, as we leave Fort Saint John, British Columbia, for Haines, Alaska. We spent a very pleasant evening at the Quality Northern Grand Hotel in Fort Saint John.

The weather this morning isn't much better than it was when we landed last evening. There's still a lot of low lying fog, so it's a good job we'll be flying I F R. We have prevailing winds from the east, so we'll be taking off from runway 11. Our flying time to Haines will be about 3 hours and forty-five minutes at a planned altitude of 14,000 feet.

Getting off of the ground will be very difficult. You'll need to keep to the right of the runway to counteract the strong 35 knot sidewinds. But, you're an expert pilot and I have no worries... well, almost no worries!
