Re Jim Blume and his Cessna 185. I lived in Wau not far from Jim in 1979/80. His C185 was a stock standard aircraft at the time, with a Continental O-470 engine (260hp). He had bought it from Talair, and was P2-SEQ. I flew it a few times. Some years after I left Wau Jim had a STOL kit fitted by SIL at Aiyura.
Jim was a standalone missionary pilot for a US based Baptist church.
