So, it looks like an export operation from PNG. I guess with Covid19 the drug runners usual logistics operations are hamstrung.
What’s the flight time between the strip and Mareeba? Two and half hours at 3000’. Give or take. Can a 402C carry round trip fuel? If not, I was just pondering the difficulty of buying and trucking a couple of 44s from POM.
Could it have been a botched landing rather than a T/O gone awry? Presuming the “keptin” wasn’t all that sharp, carrying all that extra speed on approach may not have helped Mum after all.
Interesting days. Looks like our drug runners are now taking a leaf out of the S.American cartels book of logistics tactics.
