Off course. The translation from pidgin to english is "We are sorry to hear of your aircraft going in. We, who have flown in PNG feel your pain'". Anyone who has lived and worked in PNG have nothing but deep affection and gratitude for the time spent there. I had 8 wonderful years there, with TAA, and remain friends with some both expats and natives to this day. PNG is hard flying country, and is the best training any pilot can have. My admiration and good wishes go to the Capt and F/O, a sterling job in the terrain I know so well. My sympathies go to the families of those that did not survive, also something I have seen many times before.
