Terima kasih YAJASI for your pelayanan di Papua khususnya kami di roufaer - biri. Your are in our heart and in our prayer. Praise the Lord.
Thank you Djenny!
You have all my respect sir. People just dont seriously know how dangerous your work is to supply these outback folk with food and stuff. Well done.
As a low hours pilot, who was in PNG (87-88, but not as a pilot) a lot of respect for your skills, & the Wycliffe translators, Just purchased a T shirt & Coffee mug. Enjoying your video's.
Wow! Thanks that's really encouraging.
Great videos with the Porter. Keep it up and this channel will soar.
Thanks!
Love the time lapse shots. 1:55 Sorry to hear about your co-laborer at MAF.
Thanks David, Ya we are very sad about the MAF Accident.
Great vid', but please drop the music, we need the engine sounds.
Woww, love this kind of vlog ! More vid please captain.. Hers is also a Kodiak Pilot vlog in Papua 'Missionary bush pilot'
Informative clip about aviation at rural places. What I wonder: The grass is always in perfect condition on this mountain airstrips like at the golf court. Do they mow the grass by hand or an engine driven grass mower? Can you give us some exclusive details about airstrip maintenence? Do they create those strips by hand or is first a helicopter delivering building-site-machines? Thanks
Each village has the responsibility to keep it mowed. some are done by machete, some are done with weed eaters. Often the grass is to tall and the pilot will have to close the runway until it is cut. Some of the airstrips have been expanded by the government and they helicopter in large equipment but most of the strips are completely built and maintained by the local people. Mostly by hand.
@@ZehrAirmany thanks for this interesting information!
@@ZehrAir The villages need to keep Goats that can keep the runways "chewed". They will eat anything and could be a source of protein in the occasional meal.
Subscribed, thanks for this channel. Fell in love with Porter and Papua after enjoying "Worst place to be a pilot" miniseries years ago. Btw are those terminal plates available somewhere or do Papua chart flight operators keep them secret? :) Would be nice to have them for my virtual Papua flights with Porter in flight sim. Safe flights and calm winds!
Thanks for the sub. Sorry I can't share the company charts because of liability concerns.
@@ZehrAir Thanks for reply. Thought so, but i had to ask. Wish you safe flights and safe landings and i am looking forward for your new videos! :)
It would be nice to get a Lat & Lon of some of these strips. Some are already in MSFS2020 flight simulator but others not. I can find them infrequently on Google Earth and then fly to them in the sim since they do show up in the Satellite image that MSFS2020 uses. Great job with high pucker factor.
Love the fake ATC transmissions……yeh, right
They were not fake, just had to cut out the ATC portion by request from my boss.
@@ZehrAir no, they ARE fake….I worked with ATC
