Reading Gonefishingnz's posts......words fail me!

Whatever happened to the first week in country being spent in the RHS followed by ICUS into all strip for a minumum of three trips!

IF after the three ICUS trips, in the Checkies opinion you were capable of landing there you might have been required to do a couple of take offs, circuits and landings from that strip solo, whilst the Checkie stood on the ground there and watched you! (Luk V; Remember that was what you did with me at Kaintiba, which was my very first PNG strip endorsement!)

Sending you out to a highland strip that you'd never been to before, with 10 hours icus in country, in my opinion is just crazy.
Unusual-Attitude; Precisely!

I wish Chimbu Chuckles was still on these boards as I have absolutely no doubt that he would be able to express in a far more eloquent manner than I the absolute insanity of sending someone with only 10 hours ICUS in country into a previously unvisited strip.

Gonefishingnz; Go buy a lottery ticket mate, because you are incredibly lucky that you are still alive!
