Top down view shows the rugged nature of the islands. There is an air strip below the aircraft, at about 7 o'clock.

Christy strip. Descent straight into the late afternoon sun. AN-2 can hold 55 kia in steep dive due to its massive flap area.

Coming in heavily nose down. No problems other than sun.
