I love the Islander since I saw her in the sixties for the first time. Thank you for the video and thank you for no additional "music" in the background .

These used to fly from a grass airfield 1 mile north of Oranmore until activities were transferred to Carnmore, the site of the Galway airport, no longer serving commercial flights. Eventually Connemara airport was built just north of Aranmore to make the flights shorter and Aer Arann transferred to that location with a connecting bus service operating from Galway city. The BN2 is a STOL aircraft specially built for interisland and short commutes. Scottish airlines operate several examples to the Hebrides and other offshore islands.

Run up checks at the end of the runway. We always do ours at the holding point
