Does anyone have a picture of the Kokoda strip?
I have one here that shows it well but not sure how to load it up.
Whilst interesting to see the photo's and videos etc from Fane and the like and it brings back some fun memories from when I was flying there I think it might be a bit misleading to compare those to Kokoda.
Whilst the approach to Kokoda through the gap is quite difficult the strip itself is not quite as dramatic as those shown here.
I think that people saying they crashed on a go-around might be a bit misleading. More likely the case (and I am sitting half a world away now so this is only speculation from my previous knowledge of flying there) is that they where unable to land at Kokoda due weather and crashed en-route back to POM whilst trying to renavigate the gap.
