Great GA airfield with a spectacular approach.

Winds can be a challenge due to the topography with mountains on the side and cliffs on both ends of the runway. I had 3 different winds reported when I approached. Headwind at the touchdown zone, no wind center runway and crosswind at the far end.

The airport itself is a gem with the terminal from a different century. Not much happening there apart from the occasional island commuter turbo prop, so all in all a very relaxed atmosphere.

The island is brilliant for hiking and wildlife.
