@KenZeroHarm Statistically it probably is but I’d say almost any airstrip in Papua is more dangerous.

@BigJetTVLIVE Sorry to hear this. Wishing Jerry a speedy recovery 🙏🏻

[Matt Dearden @IndoPilot]

@ShropsAeroPig Glad you enjoyed the talk Brendan. Perhaps the book might entice you to try a sloping airstrip 😉

@SEAMAC_VALET @ListerLawrence @TheRAC_UK Thanks! BMW Atacama Yellow and only just over a 1000 made in this colour apparently 💛

@DConflying That’s just the max pressure. Brew at 9 bar usually after pre-infusion.

🧈 When you butter the landing 👌🏻

Bush flying is all about getting the job done but if you can grease the landing too 👨🏻‍🍳😘

🤠Please ignore the crashed aircraft on the left after landing 🙈 Oh and the other wrecked aircraft at the top of the airstrip 🫣

⛰️Hilltop landing🌴

Many airstrips in Papua eventually expand enough to become sealed runways which is sad for us bush pilots but useful for the local villagers who then benefit from larger aircraft which reduces the cost of items bought in my air 💸

[Matt Dearden @IndoPilot]

@officiallucaas Yeah sure thing. Please credit back to me @IndoPilot 🙏🏻

🛬 Landing at 7500ft ⛰️

Ilaga is one of the busier airstrips in the highlands of Papua with daily flights coming in from all over the province. This Twin Otter barely needs the 600m of runway available which is impressive considering the density altitude here 👌🏻
