You are going to Green Island, not Penghu. But still, I have reservations about flying in stormy weather, especially with Typhoons in the vicinity.

Seems like one of those deals where if the plane goes, you go

The boat ride may be safer overall.
The plane used is a twin otter. Think they got four of them to replace three decades old dorkier 228 planes.
They have actually done well with the dorniers and think there were few incidents given the challenging conditions at these offshore tiny airports.
However the twotters have already twice at least left the runway on landing in cross winds in the last few years.
Once at orchid island and once at kaohsiung.
Not sure if the pilots are not as familiar with the Twotter or these planes are not good in cross winds. Not that they haven’t had a few incidents with the dorniers
Daily air is not as well run as it could be .

I am at the international airport, ready to head home.
I did not get all the answers I was hoping for.
I seem to have lost a brother, but I have gained a niece, sister-in-law and other family and friends in Taiwan.
I wanted to thank everybody for everything and anything you did along this journey, whether it was monetary, directions, recommendations, words of encouragement or even just a heart on one of my posts.
I am truly thankful I came here and got some closure.
My sister-in-law said she will bring Amber to Canada to see the rest of her family here.
Thank You

P.s thank you for sharing such an personal part of your life with us . This is a real life “good movie” ending. It is the End of the Beginning…in your relationship with your niece.
