AntiChrist - Not wishing to nitpick, but isn't an athiest one who denies the existence of God. Therefore, isn't your last comment rather hypocritical or are you just confused with grammar?

Tequila Joe - Why not use the approved pilot-pilot intercommunication frequency allocated for BLW F200 (I think there is a separate one for ABV F200 128.85 but will stand corrected). Other OCAs and TCAs generally use 123.45 but the AUS FIR is slightly different.

On the subject of MAF - Strange perhaps, but then they didn't associate with us types at the "derro's" either, so we didn't get the chance to see if there were really strange or just didn't like drinking. However, from memory, their aircraft (usually C185s) were 100% + maintained and carried a few MAF-mods, which no doubt, came after the bitter learning curve of a few of their drivers spearing in and meeting their Maker well ahead of time.

Back in the late '70s, stayed overnight with a couple somewhere north of Balimo in the Western Province (can't remember the exact place due to too many bottles of bad neuron remover). Quite charming acutally. I am sure either the MAF invented the color "Missionary Brown" or the cut the best deal known to Man and God and Home Depot. You can always tell a missionary's house by that color.

Be safe out there.
