Into the wild blue yonder

Then the Caribou sailed into the wild blue yonder. Which reminded me of how short our time is here. Tomorrow, we start our final week here in PNG before we too depart. We have a very busy week and I am sure that it will go by to quickly. We will keep you posted on the final days and thank you in advance for your interest and support for our time here.

Caribou

Nothing like the sound of those two big radials roaring past you.

Caribou

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.
