Recieved two conflicting stories now...

was this on the Pom or kokoda side of the saddle that it went in?


...


oh and for the boofhead obie, added a pic of an old map for you....
for the go-arounds.. our company policy in png was zero,zilch,nada
go arounds permitted.. as we could be committed to land in a few cases before u even see the strip... the only way to execute the 180 to get out of some of these valleys is to turn around after landing and point her back out... 99% are one way strips <600m at >5000' with >10% gradient.



someone want to post up the pom aloteu (think its N15) cant find mine atm...

although chimbu as usual very clear description a picture can paint a thousand words... wish i could remember the runs as clearly as that.. cant even remember where i went today...
