We had the distinct honour of hosting the Australian military at our airstrip last week. They rode in on a Caribou. Which for those of you that don't know, bares any resemblance to any hoved animal. It is a large ugly airplane, that looks a little better in camo. However, it's takeoff and landing performance is superb. It can land most anywhere a Cessna 206 can while hauling at least 5 times the payload. The Aussies come by to practice landing in small jungle stips offten in PNG. We enjoyed a short chat and watching their airplane perform.
