Enjoy the views and shoots from some of the most beautiful places in West Papua.
The runway we're landing on is called Sipogol and it's located along a ridgeline. Landing at late mornings are usually not possible due to dangerous up valley winds and crosswinds. Its steep section allows for the plane to slow down quickly and a lot of power is needed to reach the top. Enjoy the stunning views!! Air America style!
Big thanks to Hartley and Patrick for allowing me to record the formation shots and John Knox for helping me out with the cameras.

Pure flying visuals, no theatrics. As a pilot, I can feel myself in his seat. Thanks.

Thank you Glenn! Cameras never make it justice. I'm happy you could see the real difficulty of landing on a runway of this sort. Cheers!

Back in 1978, Republic of Vietman, I was a flight engineer on a HH43B Kaman Huskie (rescue and recovery chopper) I was at that time stationed at Cham Ran Bay- My last mission I was a part of was one of these Pilatus PT6, they took off out Nha Trang just north of us and their engine fuel starved. They ditched in the South China Sea, just off the Beach at Cham Ran Bay. Two men lived to try it again...The next day I returned to my wife in the states. Wilber
