Have you ever operated into Bells Flat airstrip at Raoul Island?
Several years (30 or so...) I recall hearing a flight on AKL information operating out to Raoul Island. From memory the registration matched that of a single engine Comanche which would probably be one of the few aircraft that could make it there and back without a refuel. Being the curious type I happened to look at Raoul the other night on Google earth and noticed that the airstrip is still there. Has anyone in Pprune world operated into it? If so I'd be interested to hear about your experience.

Im assuming that Commanche you heard out there was PMC? Other than that I've only ever heard of a heli making the trip with external tanks, for the search of that lost DOC member.
