is NCA GT's mob?
If the only flying yourve done before you go to PNG is a C172 and the training area then this will probably not your cup of tea
I know you were thinking of the lifestyle aspect, but what sort of hours should one be looking to have before heading up there? (I have none. Well, 30 or so in 172s and similar, this is just for future reference.)
BTW, it wouldn't be a decision I'd take lightly, my old man flew up there in the talair days and having heard his stories I know enough about the place to know I know nothing at all. I do know he had a blast up there, and that he treated the flying conditions with a lot of respect.
