In 2017, a golden Islander plane made a special island-hopping flight from Kirkwall to five of Orkney's north isles. The flight marked the 50th anniversary of scheduled services operated by Loganair and during the trip it landed at Sanday before heading on to North Ronaldsay.{{cite news | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-41418289 | title = Golden plane makes special flight on Orkney anniversary | work = BBC News | date = 27 September 2017 | access-date = 14 July 2023}}
