Oh, I like that Gunner... yes that makes it a bit closer to home. Those top dressing pilots usually do okay, don't they?!

I have been in the amusement park business for a while and that is on ride I would not want to get in on, or fly for that matter.

One wonders if the pilots are former Kiwi Top Dressing Pilots, looks like their kind of landing strip. Go luck Saffy.

Well, that might be a good packing tip Spyd - never thought of that I know there's going to be an adrenalin rush on that landing strip.... or will it be the taking off? Jeepers creepers, I hope the engine doesn't sputter. It's got two propellers doesn't it? I'll have to look at that again....

After having watched this, Saffy repacks her bags to include an extra 2 pairs of knickers ... .

I seriously hope that it's everything you're wanting it to be Saffy. If I don't get online again before you leave, have a safe flight there & back again & the time of your life whilst travelling. Look forward to hearing all about it with your photos :)...

Found this on You Tube and I can hardly sit still when I watch it!� We'll be landing here and taking off several days later.� This runway was put together in a scheme that Edmund Hillary was part of, along with a lot of American funding.��Created to enable medical supplies to reach the poorer people in this remote place. �They had no machinery so the locals got into groups of 30 and went up and down the area, stamping the dirt flat.� It had to be cleared of scrub and bushy, manually...
