Island hopping - Britten Norman Islander - Vanuatu

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. 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!

    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.
