PNG LongRanger: lost tail rotor?

[tolakuma manki]

Heard that Longranger lost tail rotor near Lae PNG.

Anyone can confirm?

That was careless...I mean, losing expensive stuff like a tail rotor But it comes as no surprise really, it's very easy to lose stuff in PNG But once found it's also very easy to get it back again with the appropriate amount of compensation

I don't know about a Longranger, but I believe Islands Nationair put a sling load into their 407's tail-rotor a few days ago.

Na Big Mike, not unless 407 can fly Notar.

Twas 206 ends in A, longline incident I do believe.

BTW Hows mosbi, Madang is great
