Got me on a roll now...

A few more from PNG for those interested:

Kora, 600m, 7%, 5 736' elev - don't overshoot 'cos there is nothing to stop you at the end of this strip...


Karik (Porgera mine), 1 200m, 5.4% (another down and up slope) 7 463' elev


Maramuni, 450m, 6.4%, 5 030' elev - usually a nasty tailwind approach with an updraught blast on short-final just to keep you on the ball


Guwasa, 600m (if you really want the rough erosion at the upper end), 10%, 4 938' elev


Mengino, 600m, 8%, 4 000' elev - 600m starts looking pretty short with a good quartering tailwind on take off - I always liked looking at trees...


Gema, 560m, 10%, 5 250' elev - turbine Islander on approach


Better stop - that's enough for now...
