Monday 19th September 1994 Rabaul Airport , Papua New Guinea the BN2 & Cessna 402s belonged to Airlink and the AS350 was owned by Pacific Helicopters. I will never forget that morning we were the only flyable light Aircraft to leave (Airlink Cessna 404) just after 6am minutes after Tavurvur erupted,followed by the Air Niugini F-28 which had overnighted and they were the last Aircraft to ever use the old Airport, we landed at the disused Tokua Airport, now the main Rabaul Airport.
