New photos seem to find their way to the AAB website over time. Old photos taken by visitors to the islands wind up being recognized by those vintage image sellers and put them up for auction on eBay.

My latest acquisition were slides taken back in 

May 1974. 

The slides tell me a visitor was in Puerto Rico and planned a trip to St. Thomas. They decided to take the Antilles Air Boats "Goose" from Fajardo to the Virgin Islands.

Capt. Dave Howard acknowledges his passenger that gets to ride up front with him as they prepare to depart from Fajardo. Always a thrill to sit up front and fly between the islands.
