An “Aviocar” CASA or a C295 CASA (twin engine transport, c130-like)— both Spanish made?

Guess it would take a while— prop flight, out over Great Inaqua then around the end of Cuba (East) then up to Gitmo airfield.

It was a different era in the 60’s (obviously)— friend said they could see Russian freighters come in drafting high and then leaving weighted to the gunnels. Barter— no cash. And a show with Cousteau’s son interviewing Fidel— he opened a drawer full of US treasury checks for annual rent of Gitmo, honored since the Spanish American war victory over Spain for a “free” Cuba. Such a shame how it ended up.

Can’t they park a hospital ship close by a lot cheaper??????? 50 mil a bed? Sounds like someone is getting too rich off the project.
