Ipoh to Taiping
I really enjoyed your post as it brought to life images I have seen around KL. The airport is still in Taiping however I cannot tell you the condition.
It is intended to be a stop on one of my next navex, and having read your post I intend flying it as you described, however in a PA-28, not a DC-3.
I would like to show you the present state of Simpang Airport, it would have been familiar to you, however I cannot master the image posting bit, so you will have to go to
this site.
The photo bottom right was taken on short finals from a C-172, note the displaced threshold, and why!
Lets have some more of your stories, and mebbe we can revisit them.
