If you want to learn more about the fascinating, isolated island of St Helena, listen to our podcast Extremities. We spent a whole season covering how St Helena works--its economy, its people, its government, and much more:
I love how proud they are of their little airport!! It's not the aesthetic marvel that most Airports are, but these people are so proud of what they have accomplished, and for good reason. I personally have dreamed of going to St. Helena for no other reason than it is an interesting an inconspicuous place. Now I can. I love seeing how happy these people are with their accomplishment. Thank you Wendover for making this awesome Documentary.
This was REALLY good. I didn’t realize how invested I was until they showed the tabloid headlines calling it the most useless airport and I got really sad and defensive.
I've taken that flight over to Sain Helena, it's such a nice place but since you have to stay there for a week, it gets a little boring but I don't regret going, not even for one second.

RMS St Helena: business in the front, party in the back?
A 45 minute 2 years in the making documentary? Seems like Wendover's really soaring to new heights here... And with such nebulous causes too...
When I saw the thumbnail I was like "I swear to god if this is about anchorage again"
Why am I getting emotional watching an airport documentary?
Every single person on this island appears to have a different accent lol
A 50 minute wendover video? What a way to start off the new decade <3

I love how official but friendly that behind the scenes tour is
I can't believe I spent 46 minutes watching a documentary about an obscure airport. I can't believe how much fun I had watching it as well
