will be making thru trip home for the first time in years. going thru union island too... now i know. thanks for the vid. this'll scare the misses. her first trip too.
I thought there was something a bit odd, to my memory the runway was in a different position. I suppose a lot has changed since i've been in Union Island.
I have family on this Island. I stayed here once (2:53)on the right hand of the screen facing the harbour. You don't see/hear the planes till they come over the hill, i used to jump out my skin. At first i didn't know there was an air strip there as the view was bloked by trees and hedges. Palm Island is PARADISE, the most beautiful island i have ever seen.
I can at last see what it's like landing at Union Island, I had my eyes closed the whole 50 min flight from Barbados, including the landing! Spent 2 wks on Palm Island, fantastic. Great video, thx.
Well actually the whole runway has changed in the last 20 years. They moved it left about 30 degrees, and added the extension out into the water. Still no lights though.
I think you flew on TIA ??
Now the color scheme has changed. And one twin otter caught fire on the island a few weeks ago.

I have to go there for Courts every 3 months this landing really gets the adrenaline ( and other bodily fluids) flowing.
