g'day all , new poster here . been enjoying the read for nearly a week . I was in PM , flying for central air services , from nov 84 to june 85 . only flew u 206 p2 MAB and DQU . log book reveals 250 hrs while in PNG and as this was my first job after training , more than doubled my TT . I can't say i had as good a time as most of you seemed to . I was in over my head with the flying and while struggling to learn was constantly threatened with sacking by unfriendly management . Of course there was those moments of peace - cruising through that incredible scenery - that restored ones faith . It all seemed very extreme , the flying , the drinking , the ******* . witnessed my first beer induced chunder in the cockpit while icus (and the second , third , etc ) . Truly an unforgettable place .
