Stillwater Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Sometimes the remote villages in Papua New Guinea urgently require supplies. And not always fancy, modern transport vehicles are available. So we had to take one of Air Niugini´s experienced planes. I could read the fear in the passengers faces. If they only knew my own doubts... Well, it was easy to start at Kokoda and follow the road to Girua. It got interesting when we turned right towards the valley... ... of Emo River. You can see flaps and wheels were already extended in order to reduce speed... ... and still we missed the waterfall slightly, ... ... which brought us a bit offset to the runway of Emo Mission. But since we were slow enough it worked. And we could deliver the requested stuff into the freight hall. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Way to get the DC-3 down onto the ground in that rough area Gerold. Delivering supplies into the back country is no easy milk run Cheers! Landon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear the a/c in the freight hall does not have the capacity for all that beer that was unloaded. The stock needed to be reduced urgently !
