Siem Reap it is on a pleasant 36 degree day.
Been to Vietnam a few times as well as Cambodia but never saw PMT until the day of the pic.
Must say it caused a few chuckles amongst the crew.

Many grape seasons ago Flinders Island Airlines operated a bunch of Bonanzas

Any of you Bo nuts had a wrestle with one of these?

A mate emailed me these pictures of a C185 I used to fly at strips I used to frequent in it...although these are his and I wasn't present on these days.
Name escapes me.
Kagi.
Lake Myola early morning fog...Kokoda Gap is at the right end of the lake/piccy.
And the ubiquitous Tapini with the RAAF out for a play on a sunny day.
If you take off and turn left- not that you would unless empty because you'd struggle to outclimb the terrain-you arrive after 5-6 minutes, most of it spent climbing, at the first piccy.
All these would have been taken around 1992ish.

Chuckles; First piccy is Sopu, where many an airfare was paid to me with 2 kina notes which had been hidden by the owner in their gardens!
And given the 'fertiliser' that the villagers used, it was no wonder that we referred to 2 kina notes as ''Sopu arsewipes''

It's officially called 'Tracking Coastal.'
Amongst the rest of us it was known as 'Navigating by visual reference to the tops of the coconut palms.'
