Flying Tiare

Air Tahiti Nui is a French Polynesian airline (nicknamed Tiare) that not only takes tourists to "paradise" from France, the U.S., Japan, New Zealand, and Australia, but hops from tiny island to not-so-tiny island. This video makes use of GoPro cameras in the strangest places, even inside a jet turbine, to give us an up close and personal view of an Airbus and its routine. Plane maintenance between flights is included, and the views from above the islands are awesome. Do not miss the final shot at the end.

The video was not made by the airline, but was a project by fans with the cooperation of Tiare as a gift to the Air Tahiti Nui staff on the company's 15th anniversary. (via Boing Boing)
