Remember the 14 legs mail runs anyone? Heard a few interesting ones about flaps failing on leg 3 or 4 and then flying flapless into some pretty interesting strips for the rest of the afternoon.

Also the flaps jamming at full and having to do the 'reach around' to push the wiring together to get the flaps up (sticky switch). Good times.

I personally flew into a place in the MaCarthur area and after landing had to drive the strip with a station hand and dig out sapplings from the strip cos it hadn't had mail fllown-in, in close to 2 years. Thought that extra couple of hundred metres might be nice, given that there was a rock at the end!.
