Are you telling us its 600m and got a decent slope and no-one has yet

take the 25yr uncollected prize for 1st twin in'n out
Find me an Islander or Twin Otter and I'll go in and out with all seats filled, overnight bags and a carton of crownies each. I've even have a crack at it in an old 402/402A. If memory serves Eloua, north of Kavieng, was 680m, flat, crushed coral and had a nasty slippery algae covering...used to go in and out in 402s with all seats, and if raining - our pants, filled....ya just gotta want to badly enough.

Couple of 'da boys' even took a 402 in/out of Kiantiba one day.

Kiantiba


Anyone who has spent much time based in Lae or Wau should recognise this garden spot.
