Thanks for a lovely report and pics! I found your description of Papeete interesting - "Papeete, the capital, which is a nice intimate little town in its own right." When we were there just over 20 years ago, we found it to be polluted, dirty and unpleasant. We stayed on Moorea, which was ...
Jump to postWe flew Air Tran, after the transition from Valujet, but they were still then flying Valujet's fleet of remaining DC-9-30s and some 737-200s. This would have been late 1999.

Jump to postSveinn - thanks for the dedication and what a great report of your day's flying on the baby Dash - it's my favourite version of the Dash 8 family.
