Yes, that was the Buffalo Demonstrator prang I was thinking of. Havn't seen that video clip for a few years. No injuries except to a few egos and the airframe.

I'd forgotten the DHC4 Caribou prang.

Interesting that it was at Gimli - made famous by the "Gimli Glider" incident.

There have been two previous civil Caribous operating in PNG. Ansett in the 1960's and another more recently which I seem to recall pranged in the Kiunga area.
