This runway located in the Star Mountains of Papua, 12 minute flight from Oksibil village and located in the same valley as Kiwirok. It's position relatively to the predominant up and down valley winds can make it a real challenge to land, specially if with a quarterly tailwind.
The locals are very friendly and often give me bananas to take home.
The flight was recorded over a year and using only one camera for the main footage.

As Indonesian.. I thank you so much for what you gaes have done for my people in Papua. You have risk your life to fly there and landed on a short runaway. God bless you and keep you safe. You and your family.

Single engine ops over that terrain? Can't believe the max takeoff weight isn't exceeded once the pilot's balls are factored in.

The pilot's confidence about the route and the strip they are going to land on made it look beautifully easy. Good work.

@8AD858D8 Год назад

While taking my father in a Cessna to visit and buzz his brother's home in northern Minnesota he opened up about his time in the Pacific. He said the last time he was in a small plane he was delivering a pig which he held in his lap to a small village in the jungle. The pig was a way of thanking the villagers for their help with driving the Japanese off of their island. I wish my father had been able to get some pictures of the pilot and the strip they surely would have been remarkable.

@gregorchard7881 Год назад

Ive spent over 20 years working and living in PNG. So much of what these guys do isn't even about flying. The respect and love they show for these people has far reaching effects on these communities. Sometimes the only hope these people have is the planes arrival, with much needed food and medicines. I visited many communities in the "mix-master belong Jesus", (helicopter), and those visits were always eagerly anticipated..

Just another day at the office for an experienced bush pilot.....he knows his airplane, and his basic flying skills are ALL there. I was a CFI-I and stick-and-rudder teaching was my forte. This is that concept applied in the "real world" to perform needed services to very isolated people who depend on these flights. Kudos to this pilot !!

Wonderful video and story. I was so inspired that I endeavored to find this airstrip in Microsoft Flight Simulator VR. Google wasn’t much help but I was able to get close with the info in the description and fluked spotting it on the map. Unfortunately it’s not modeled accurately in the sim although I was able to land on it in a Boeing Stearman. What an incredibly beautiful part of the world. So many little villages with their handmade airstrips dotted among the mountains. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

Fantastic scenery the Star Mountains. I worked at the Ok Tedi mine in the early 1980s, also Ertzberg mine across the border. Yes, the local people were always friendly despite the mines being problematic to say the least. Ertzberg didn’t even have an airstrip, we flew in with an ex-US army Iroquois. I seem to remember the Ok Tedi strip was quite short in a Fokker Friendship.
