Yeah that's about how I remember it
Except I made it in and out of Sim 'almost always' in the windy season in a Talair Twotter so you youngans must be a bunch of blouses
If the turbulence around Lake Trist was unbareable I did not even enter the Sim Valley but otherwise it was only interesting after crossing the threshold when that undulating 20' high embankment just upwind of the Twotters wingtip was a hoot
ISL and ISM are both ex Talair machines and DWA was Divine Word Airways...I have many hours in the two former but if I ever climbed in the latter I think a lightning strike would follow
You should have seen Kamako before it was lengthened around the corner....You young blokes are just spoilt

All the way to Finchafen to get back from the Kabwum? What's wrong with circling to 13500' north of the Saidor Gap and flying inbound on the 350 radial until visual, about 10DME usually, and then descend into NZ...ISL/M not IFR anymore? Brgds to Brad, Mike C and Guts Thiele.
