Did plenty of 3 bungles days in the trusty Airvan. The key is to get the ventilation fan mod done so it actually blows & has some sort of circulation. Poor Slings scarecan doesnt have this and theirs is on the bottom of the pilots wish to fly list. I got about 400+ hours in them and I enjoyed flying them. Plus they had a lovely colour moving map GPS, so thats why I didn't get lost on one of my 200+ sorties to the bungles. Northen Chique, I too heard Pongos recount of such a song. There is a current song about the bungles now. If anyone wants to get it, contact the guitar weilding navajo driver @ sling.

PS - Airvan is great on short strips carrying the max legal load. Very poor when you look at the distance to run on GPS and there is 400nm to go and your roaring around at 115kt. I got one to 10,000ft by KU mbz boundary once (empty of course).
