Komako - a morning strip. Don’t go there after lunch cause of the tailwinds. Unquote.
Whistling up the river valley from the south one afternoon I noticed the windsock had nothing on it. Perfect. I’ll whip in and out and that’s one less job tomorrow.
Normal checks and approach, committed to land with the asi pegged at 65 knots. Zooming over the fence thinking we are way too fast.
With hard braking and sliding up the dog leg towards the bank at the end we came to a stop about 2 feet short of the spinner of my C206.
Those fockers had loaded the windsock with stones so anything less than a force ten gale was never going to move it.
Then there was Hauwabungo( spell check) Don’t go there in the early morning. Unquote. For another time 😁
I earned my ANO 28 mostly in the Huon and Menyamya areas.
