Shots of the approach to Tapini in what was then TPNG - 1970.
The strip itself.
and the "Go round obstacle" at the end of the strip.
After 40 years they've probably flattened out the strip, built up the approach and moved the mountain at the end.

Nice Vid Jaba, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of when I was a kid, riding my bike down to the airport at Rotto (we lived there) so I could watch the aircraft from the side of the strip.
The 185 sounds great.
