I was in PNG when the Caribou went missing and around that time a few C206's disappeared in quick succession, some never to be found again. Chuck is providing a very good narrative of what it's like and what confronted this crew. It is very hostile country, as I found doing the start of my licence, and not for the faint hearted. Come out of PNG and you're not bad at it. Don't know whether you've been there Amos2 but if not you are definately in the Obie category. Chuck up himself? - you are a dork Amos!
