I was a USAF geodetic officer working in Port Moresby at our Aerial Survey Team that did log line trilateration surveys in the Pacific. 1964 We had teams on mountain tops for months and used every method available to resupply them. I was in charge of our photo lab and our survey computation team. Thank you for the reminding me of an experience I had when I was allowed to visit one of our stations.

Crazy runway, those mountains look savage. And were an amazing natural barrier way back in WW2. The people of PNG really helped out in that affair when Australia was under attack.

We flew Hercs there '90/92 supporting the Chevron oil project at Moro. It was quite an experience. We had four turbines. These guys have one turbine, but they have all computerized cockpits. Suck a bird through the intake in that thing and you're very likely done. We flew NDB/DME approaches and did the calculations by hand. Analog cockpits. These guys are good!! (Because they are still alive.) The weather/terrain situation can be deadly. IMHO, other than combat, PNG flying is among the most challenging to be found worldwide. I lost two very dear friends there due to terrain, weather and a mistake. GPS was in its infancy and few, if any, had it. They got lost NW of Goroka enroute from Mt. Hagen, turned too soon, and pounded into a mountain in a Bandierante. I never learned why Jay turned when he did. He was a Talair Check Airman. Jay and Nancy, RIP. Two monsoons sweep the islands annually. Things can become difficult very quickly. These missionary pilots have bronze balls. When we were there, they flew 206's. Pistons. RESPECT!

Back in the ‘70’s I was in the building business and assisted a bush pilot in the construction of his new home in Waxhaw North Carolina. His first name was Leo last name escapes me but he was a JAARS pilot (Jungle Aviation and Radio Service, Waxhaw, NC. He was a great guy and only told me that he took missionaries to remote locations he was assigned to deliver to. I assume now that he flew like you guys fly.

I wish you loads of good fortune for the work you do with these amazing videos, so that those of us who no longer fly can glimpse what might have been. (Actually it still might be, one day, if I can save enough spare cash for a short-term adventure!) But the mountains seem so close as you twist among them.... My flying was mainly in the UK, and in areas where there were not these dramatic valleys and peaks. Imagine a lad from Lincolnshire - where a hill is anything above a couple of metres and a mountain anything above 100 ft! - trying to cope with this kind of terrain. 😃
