[@devlynolan1222]

Thank you Wally for sharing these memorable experiences and beautiful memories. I flew couple of flights with you as a flight attendant on Talair. Yes, we miss those services in the rural areas these days due to lack of transportation in which Talair played a mjor role in it.❤ 👊👏👍As a former staff, I can attest that Talair paved the way for alot of services for the government. Am proud of Talair. 👏👏👏👍❤️❤️

Heart moving and fond memories of a pioneer aviation entity that touched and served the people of Papua New Guinea to its core from the heart. To all those daring pilot friends who would arise at early dawn to race to see who would be the first to break the silence of the day, fly home at sunset, be recalled or diverted for a Medivac, I can only say, " tenk yu tru olgeta long hatwok bilong yu, yu givim long ol pipol bilong Papua New Guinea. To the many national and expatriate ground staff in various divisions of TALAIR, tenk yu tru ol Wantok na ol poro. For those who have lived their lives, tenk yu tru in silence. I served as ground staff and station manager in Lae, Mendi, Goroka, Popondetta, Rabaul, Madang, Gurney-Alotau, Wewak, Vanimo, Mount Hagen and to countless out station ports through out PNG. Tenk Yu Tru TALAIR, You were a True Servant Warrior and Pioneer Aviation Hero of Papua New Guinea. Marco O Paul (Served 1979 - 1984)

Thanks for sharing the Aviation History of an Airline ( TALAIR ) that reached out to the remote airstrip touching the lives of the rural population. The government services and rural-based economic activities were very well sustained. However, the million-dollar question is, why could we not see Talair again in the rural areas of Papua New Guinea?

I was 4 years old when the Talair plane crashed at Buiyebi near Mendi . My dad was the Head Teacher at Buiyebi Primary School at that time. I can remember people were running towards the crash site which was at the side of main highway.

When PNG kina was 0.4 difference to USD in 1993. Great content, Talair was in great debts due to many accidents during it's operation.

Can someone clearly advise why Talair left PNG. What a great loss to the nation PNG.
