The Island's main Airport, Sao Filipe was on repairs (for over 10 years), so this was the only option. A short dirt runway, they had to scare away the goats before landing.
Actually, I could film from the cockpit... https://youtu.be/GP_CP-1owPg

It definitely looks pretty remote. I bet it was fun taking off and especially landing there. ~V~
