The fleet of Air Kiribati was mostly Brittan Norman Trilanders and the Casa when I was there during the 1980's, Air Marshall islands was running Dorniers to the outer islands from Majuro back then. "Our Airline" formerly Air Nauru. Butaritari much nicer than South Tarawa, easy lifestyle and traditional, South Tarawa just a ribbon of overpopulated urban mess.
I made this return journey in 1981 ... on the flight out from Tarawa, we touched down at another island - can't remember which one) and a very lively pig in a net was loaded into the hold.... we rocked about a bit
I had the pleasure of delivering the CASA in the video to the Government of Kiribati from the States on 18 Jan 2002. Glad to see T3-ATJ still at it!!!!
the casa is an ideal aircraft for Kiribati's outer island rough airstrips. unfortunately it has been recently replaced with a twin otter also delivered from the States.
