Hey CAC Sabre,
Great to see your posting of some of the pics from my PNG collection, in addition to what Skywagon had previously posted for me Judging by the positive reaction, we appear to have "done good".
The pic of Macair C206 VH-MKG in its later livery (Hagen?)shows the "Aseki bounder" still in one piece by that stage.
The pic of the red C206 VH-BCB is at Kasanombe, elevation 6,000 ft., about 30 nm northwest of Lae, requiring a climb out past Boana.
Reaching Kasanombe had its limitations:
Firstly the rising sun put the strip into shadow, as the approach was into the east, needing to wait until the sun was a little higher - between about 8 & 10 am, so that we could actually see the strip. Then we had to depart before significant cloud had formed, otherwise it would be the Kasanombe Hilton for the night. Sometimes you couldn't even get up there, returning home with the load.
Happy days.
