Daugo Is was used a lot in the 60's as a training strip away from the alert eyes of the TWR. Saw with mine own eyes some newbies struggling sweatingly with STOL c185's in all the loose coronas. Slow groundloops were verrry spectacular!
Daugo was also the scene of some good STOL/PATAIR weekend bbq's in the same era. Several c185 loads would get ferried out there with supplies, then back about last light. It was a worse job than a football charter!
On one such return flight, the lack of spare seating was resolved by inserting one very pissed pilot into the cargo pod via the aft door.
A dedicated PNG thread? Better do it while everyone is still compus!
happy days,
