@@remf4519 , Napoleon was really first exiled in Elba, which they thought would be remote enough for the early 19th century, but they were wrong. Napoleon managed to escape, gather an army and fight the British until finally defeated again at Waterloo (in today's Belgium, not far from Brussels).This time the British would take no chances and decided to send him to a place so far and remote it would be impossible for him to escape to Europe again. That's why they sent him to Saint Helena. This time it worked --- Napoleon lived 6 years on the island and died there. You can visit his grave there, though it's empty now, as his body was exhumed and sent to France some years later.

Which STOL aircraft were you thinking of that can make it out there with the fuel reserves to also make it back if landing is not possible? The nearest other runway is Wideawake at Ascension Island, which is around 800 miles and not open to non-military flights. Other than that you need to make it to Namibia, 1150 miles, with reserves for stooging around while you make your mind up. So you need something like 3000 miles range, with payload.

I have heard that aircraft must carry enough fuel to divert to Cape Town if the landing conditions turns dangerous. That is a lot of extra weight.

I hate flying but I've always wanted to visit St Helena. I'd venture the chance if I had the opportunity but I'm getting old and will have to be satisfied viewing she through this little portal called the internet. The pilot performed beautifully.

Timothy Cook Clay Kemper I’d be very surprised if it was Johannesburg, a 737 would struggle to go 6000km😬 Unless it had almost no passengers or luggage. Particularly with an airport no plane had ever landed at and notoriously unpredictable winds in the south Atlantic.😳😳 Maybe Cape Town, Walvis Bay or Windhoek Namibia I’d have thought.

@@numbersix100 Yes it was Johannesburg, approx. 4900 km. Cape Town is only about 500 km. closer. Besides, 737-800's routinely fly between Newark, New Jersey and London, England, 5775 km.

Timothy Cook I see they have a weekly service now from Johannesburg to Saint Helena, it stops at Windhoek (Namibia), fills the tanks then to Saint Helena. The aircraft is an E190 which makes sense and only lands on 02 runway to get round the wind sheer problem.

+ZS2YCL The 'flapping wings' look is typical of the 737-800, they're a lot more flexible (by design) than the older 737-400's etc. The simulator engineers at Comair (the company flying the BA franchised aircraft to St. Helena) have created a very accurate replica of St. Helena for the companies flight simulator (down to actually seeing seats in the terminal building when you park there!), so the pilots fly many approaches in the 'virtual' world first under various conditions (I'll just say that it's an eye-opener, you need to be on the numbers there). The performance specialists calculate the usual figures for thrust settings, weights, V speeds etc based on Boeing performance data and the known airfield parameters prior to the start of operations to the field.

Martin Benford fencing creates turbulence as the wind topples over the top. yes wind shear can be a problem but at least there is a chance of the flow being laminar and linear

Not to get all pedantic here, but this lonely lump of rock, in the middle of the biggest sea on earth, filled with some of the pluckiest people on earth, with a huge history and the pride to match, has crosswinds and wind shear, on even the easiest of days, that would destroy any aircraft in seconds under the control of any pilot less than this. I salute you, whoever you are, who flew this plane. I am agog.
