- Join me for a 7 leg trip across the beautiful country of Vanuatu (including an active volcano fly-by!), as we island hop to serve this nation, by moving people and goods from island to island, in the legendary Britten Norman Islander.
Great video !! Makes me nostalgic for Vanuatu !
Thanks for watching, Lucky Luke. :)
Great video. Love how you're describing your checks and thinking.
I search on YT once or twice a month to see if anyone has posted some new BN Islander content. Was delighted to see this today!
Thanks for the view and the comment! It's great to know that it's being enjoyed. :)
Flew this thing for two years. Never again. Was fun but so slow. Well dressed pax's!
Haha. She's a noisy bird, that's for damn sure! Did you fly in Vanuatu or in another part of the world, Frank? What do you fly today?
@@sachakaboha3246 In the Bahamas. Did some crazy stuff back then! We took the Islander into just about anywhere. Even landing on beaches.Eventually moved to Europe. Flew 737,767,747, 777 for 30 years.
@@frankgallagher5786 Amazing stuff! Would love to see some pics of your time flying BN's in the Bahamas, if you have any to share. Those were the good old days, from what I hear. :)
@@sachakaboha3246 Sorry no pics.
@@frankgallagher5786 Ahh fair enough.
Wayner in WPG!
Thanks for watching, Wayner!! :)
On the smaller islands, are you speaking on an ops frequency, or ATC?
On most of the outer islands, it's Class G airspace so talking on a common frequency.
Kids on the runway. What the....
Kids playing soccer on the runway, adults taking a nap or having a picnic, chickens or pigs grazing, I’ve seen all of the above on our island runways. There are no fences, so it’s the Wild West lol.
Was this all on one [fuel up] tank?
No, we stopped to fill up on gas in Santo. :)
No A/C? Static from Air Traffic control.
Haha zero AC. It takes up too much valuable weight in these little bush planes.
AOG passengers ☹
I think they are more like Mormon pax.
@@sachakaboha3246 yes thats what i meant ,see them every where .but they don't build Hospitals etc , saw them in Ecuador big flash church
