I never carried crocodiles but the late Raphael Koipa was carrying a load of young crocs from Lake Murray to POM when one escaped from the cardboard boxes they were packed in and made itself comfortable around the rudder pedals. Raph was pretty keen to complete the flight with the same number of toes that he started with, so hurriedly diverted to Kerema. After managing to taxi the Islander without touching the pedals (quite a feat in itself) he abandoned ship and instructed the cargo bois to capture and secure the errant reptiles!
