Note that although Jet fuel is available at Buru Island airport, the availability of aviation gasoline on Buru Island is around ZERO, so the DHC-3 Otter would preferably be a turbine engine conversion. For added suspense, turbine engines can burn diesel fuel in a pinch. The GAF Nomad and DHC-6 Twin Otter are both powered by turbine (turbo-prop) engines.

The Beech 18 would need a cargo door conversion to carry two surf boards.
