Background of the Island
San Juan, Puerto Rico is the capital and most-populous municipality in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the United States. As of the 2010 census, it is the 46th-largest city under the jurisdiction of the United States, with a population of 395,326. San Juan was founded by Spanish colonists in 1521, who called it “Ciudad de Puerto Rico“ “Rich Port City”. Puerto Rico’s capital is the third oldest European-established capital city in the Americas, after Santo Domingo, founded in 1496 and Panama City, in Panama, founded in 1519. Several historical buildings are located in San Juan; among the most notable are the city’s former defensive forts, Fort San Felipe del Morro and Fort San Cristóbal, and La Fortaleza, the oldest executive mansion in continuous use in the Americas.

We have reached the end! Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. I know not all Infinite Flight pilots are on the forum and some may not even follow the instructions but I made something that we can all enjoy and have fun doing realistically. San Juan is my home and love when it gets featured on the schedule let alone an FNF. I hope you all have an amazing time tomorrow and make sure to enjoy your flight whether it’s 30 minutes or 8 hours long.
And how we Puerto Rican’s like to say…
