An adventure to the Bahamas is one every GA pilot should take given the opportunity. On return, you’ll need to clear customs when entering the U.S.

One place many pilots choose to do so is at Witham Field (KSUA) in Stuart, Florida. North of the busier Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach area airspaces, it can be a great place to stop, check in, fuel up, and then head back home—reluctantly for many of us who don’t really want to have to leave the Bahamas behind.
