More Bourag 1992 1993


We carried Boeing trained Philippino engineers everywhere as there were no 737 engineers at out ports.


First time scary.


At the minimum poking around strato cu and looking into the sun. About thirty seconds to spot the runway or you missed out.
Next leg from Jogjakarta to Jakarta in the dark, lots of torrential rain then sudden ice and spectacular St Elmo's fire. Adventure!


Police aboard.


Next time make sure my coffee's HOT!

Destination Palu is behind the rainshower. The way in is to get into the 30 mile 'fijord' where the cloud isn't on the hills.
Cu on the 7000 foot hills at the end of the fijord style bay sucked the cool air up to 50,000ft and there were low buildups on the mountains on each bank.


No not floods in our terms. Just the end of the wet season.
