Looks like the lads are maintaining a sense of humour about their ordeal...definately a prerequisite in PNG...having said that, and as someone who has been on the wrong end of a Raskal's shotgun more than once, it would have been fairly frightening.

I believe NCA had at least one, possibly two, hijacks of their C402 some years back.

A mate was walking down to the PNGBC from the Travelodge when the 'hijacked' (there was some doubt) chopper launched off the bank's roof as the bankrobbers made good their escape...as it cleared the roof the cops opened up and shot it down...Alex stood there open mouthed as it crashed onto the road not far from where he stood...fill him full of red wine and ask him to retell the story...Funny? I laughed so hard I cried.
