Hi Thomas! I'd like to use some of this video (credited of course) in a video that I'm making about STH life. I hope that's ok, let me know if not!

6 hour flight back to Jo'burg?

Napoleon watching this would say - Gosh, sure wish I had been able to take off from St. Helena.

[@dennismcleod7391]

I just had the same thought. Was going to post it until I saw your post.

[@MrFredericandre]

Don't do a runway overrun there 😅

[@tangatoto362]

Of course, when Napoleon was there, he knew there was no run(a)way 🤓

[@anwerabdallah569]

landing and taking off from this airport gives me cold feet.

[@LennardA320]

Wow that cliff is very close. You absolutely don't want to overshoot the runways even a little.

[@demonhalo67]

Cliffs surround the vast majority of the island. If you overshoot you will land in deep water and sink as the ocean floor descends quickly. Limited aircraft can use this airport because of the distance required to the nearest mainland hub (Cape Town or Windhoek) and short runway.

Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants.

Complete nonsense. Think!!

[@anwerabdallah569]

مطار خطير جدا.

[@rickyo.1171]

Too bad that the airport has dangerous winds for airplanes to land. Tourism is affected. Too bad for this great island .
