Nice photo... looks very similar to one I've seen from someone who used to work there, very similar.

The earthquake in April 07 caused a few cracks and undulations in the strip too, it was NOTAMd.
To get Munda up to jet standard is going to take a long time and lots of $. Right now, more effort than is really warranted, but it would be a very handy piece of infrastructure in due course.

Sal, spot on the money with the hazards- don't forget the local police ute coming out and driving down the runway when you are on short final!

Skystar, theres MUCH more interesting strips in the Sollies than Munda.

And a C208 around the islands? crazy...


Anyway, SAW have cut most of their HIR services- it was only a matter of time. Didn't they learn ANYTHING from getting involved with IE?????
