bernd1151 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 After having flown for the last two weeks in and out of the bush, today is the last day to fly into the boonies. Two more deliveries and we are done. And thanks God, no casualties yet That`s our first spot for today, tucked away in a small picturesque valley On terra firma And after a stop of 30 minutes we are out again to our last village Hmmh…now that´s going to be interesting Pretty steep Pushing up the runway The plane is empty and I have decided to have a quick beer before I turn around and leave this peaceful place for good. Holy sh… Now what? Ok, you didn`t get my last beer, but at least I gave you a coke, so why do you still look so upset Oh, is that your way to tell me that you want to party? Hell yeah, by all means, let´s party After the party you will do a warrior dance for me. Hey, that`s terrific, thank you so much And then WHAAAT??? You plan to EAT ME? ? ??

bernd1151 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Thanks my friends for your kind comments. And thank you Ken for giving us these nice little eye-candies outside AYPY to fly into. Any other airfields you plan to do in Asia, in SEA in particular? May I make a suggestion: Baguio (up in the mountains) and Boracay/Caticlan (a seaside paradise), both in the Philippines, come to my mind. They are smallish airports and less than one hour flight time away from Manila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twsimfan Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Love the aircraft but you may want something a bit quicker... like maybe a X-15... if you need to rush your departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Love the aircraft but you may want something a bit quicker... like maybe a X-15... if you need to rush your departure. The X-15 would be terrific, but I might have overshot the runway before gaining sufficient take-off speed Great shots, and good to see you had good wireless in the bush to post them Think so too. At least someone can now go and try to secure the aircraft. After all it was in flyable condition, when I was invited to leave it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleT Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Great pics - those Highland and Sepik squatters must have moved up from Moresby - maybe you might like to go back with Timmy and a Caribou load of 1 PIR to help out the Koiari locals, they are really nice people ....

Thanks Bernd, Tim and I are planning more PNG ASIA packages, were in the Pacific at the moment working on another experience style project.The response to "experience" style releases has been fantastic and has confirmed our thoughts that this type of release is the way forward for us. So you can expect to see anything and everything in the future. Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait Great pics - those Highland and Sepik squatters must have moved up from Moresby - maybe you might like to go back with Timmy and a Caribou load of 1 PIR to help out the Koiari locals, they are really nice people .... Thanks a lot. Last time I was in PNG was way back in 1994/95. My wife and I spent a bit of time around Goroka and Mt. Hagen and visited many of the local tribes people. And I can confirm, also those were extremely friendly if you treated them with respect. From there we flew down to Madang in a somewhat dilapidated C 182. Man, what an experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
