Reminds me of the story of a fellow ex PNG pilot and present colleague that was driving a truck from somewhere around Goroka down to Lae via the Highlands Highway.
Turned a corner and found a tree had been cut down across the road.
At the same time he was presented with a sawn off shotgun to his head, removed violently at gunpoint and told to hand over his valuables.
He handed over a wallet with very little cash as well as his watch, but this was not to the satisfaction of the robbers.
They liked his new jeans and T shirt and demanded those at gunpoint which were dutifully provided.
But wait........there's more!
After proceeding a further 20 miles on the same thing happened again but with different robbers.
With nothing to provide his new assailants they demanded his underwear as these guys will steal anything and needed to produce a result!
Once again dutifully providing the goods (you are an exhibitionist afterall Mikey!) said individual rocks up in Lae in the nude, minus his watch,wallet and jocks but with a bloody good story to tell!
Just hope you left the lads a skidmark or two as gratitude!
Rhumb Line - the money is crap, the conditions not too flash but the flying is second to none and the most fun you can have with your pants on!
