Knock Knock Knocken at Borroloolas door...

To the pilot involved: Don't stress too much - the last bloke that "gutsed" one of john's 210s got a job flying a conquest in WA not long afterwards! 
In general BRL is pretty safe for aircraft, although it depends on who your passengers are. My old CP once took some Territory Health workers to BRL to sack some aboriginal health workers who weren't, and the locals having got wind of this threatened to blow up the plane, so he had to stand guarding it in the 30something degree sun all day.
And stay clear of the place in Pay weeks, and when the rodeo is on as the mob from Rob River are in town, their restraining orders have been lifted apparently.

LOL Turb, You sure were pretty cheerful that evening!
Strange how the further away you get from places like that, the warmer your affection is for them.

Oh yes, many fond memories of Borroloola from the early 80's.
RR, remember one of my first T/O's in the Commander, got a tad close to the cones I seem to remember. Those silly toe thingos.
Certainly got your attention old son.
Cheers to all the Coastwatch desperados.
