Papua crash...

We unfortunately just had a couple weeks ago our first crash in Papua...

Two of my friends died there, both were amongst the best pilots I've met and fly with and very good friends too.

We're all going to miss Dave and Tomas deeply.

Below is me and Tomas on a Tarakan tour a few weeks ago... Farewell my friend !

Papua

I recently upgraded as Papua captain, its great flying here, real bush flying, as you can figure out from some of the pictures below...

Left : New Papua captain, been just issued my rifle...

Right : Papua, challenging mountain strips, kids carrying machetes and mud... Lots of mud !

Weird bug on the throttle lever. Probably can project acid or some nasty stuff, better not touch...
