Hey Propellerpilot, first tnx for the info and comments. No attitude to this post. Only sourcing, what possibly to expect. Flying the remotest areas of this planet, the worst thing to do, is probably, expecting anything, but with no doubts, it helps to be prepared for certain spects by the experience of others. At the end of the day, that is one of the reasons why this sort of forums exist. What you call fed up ops, is, as we all probably know, rather the rule than the exception in many locations and appreciating the little things in life comes with the territory. And you are right, that is what they pay us for, but flying mostly uncontrolled airspace, VFR ops, partly to the absolute time limits,with sometimes 104 ground temp. on airfields the lengh of an extended pathway, etc etc, it certainly helps and makes it easier, if there is a certain ground support structure, organized management and facilites in the system. And if not, it still helps, if I know on the forhand, that it is not there, so I am able to prepare. What I meant by my reply to Goffel was, that I was promised lot's of stuff, which was simply not there when I arrived and started flying in LOS.

Even though, not all of my questions were answered, and nobody expects that to be happening here, but if I filter and consolidate the information, provided here by you and the others, I already know pretty much more, than I did before posting this thread. So thank you all for your info.
