Gee it's been awhile, and the SP got my brain cells.

What was the name of the airstrip outside Moresby where on touchdown, you had to apply full power to get to the parking bay upslope? A one wayer too for interest!

Only went in there once on a rescue with me spannas and a coupla magnetos. Pilot didn't tell me what was in store. I didn't think we were going to stop and then he went to full power on what I new was a one way strip! I thought "Oh well it's been a nice life, but here is where it ends."

I did the right thing and sent my visiting brother-in-law in on a dawn flight not long after that to share the experience.
