Is that place still as dangerous as it was 15 years ago? I guess it must be either dangerous or unpleasant for that money....

If they're paying that for "mechanics", what are they paying the pilots?!?!?!

Its a graveyard of flying machines I had a transponder pulled from an Britten Islander that overrun airfield.

No - I was considering a posting there as a means to get ahead of the mortgage, but eventually declined after some research. Regret it a bit now....

1116128 2010-07-06 02:55:00 It was an experience, that's for sure. We were there when expats had to be evacuated from Bouganville - Kimbe was a refuelling stop for the choppers, some of which had numerous bullet holes in them.

Hagen & the highlands were a bit rough - Porgera was just like the wild west, but a lot wetter !!

Those was the days !!
