This is the Lopevi that I remember.. - probably because I was usually looking UP at it..
We had a milk-run in the TwOtter, single pilot, that went Vila-Emae 35 miles, Valesdir 20 miles, Lamen Bay 15 miles, Paama 9 miles, Uleui (on Ambrym)8 miles, Lonorore 28 miles, Sara 24 miles, Longana 15 miles, and either Redcliffe 11 miles or Walaha 17 miles before the 28 miles to Santo for lunch. After a steak sandwich lunch at Mama's at the airport we retraced the way back to Vila in the afternoon.... So usually going from Lamen Bay to Paama to Uleui I would be down low, working like a one-armed paper-hanger doing the after takeoff checks, prelanding checks, the load sheet, and calling on company frequency to the next agent or two to see if the anticipated pax boarding was still the same or if they were trying to squeese another pax on to cover a nosho and if I could uplift them..
Fun.
