    I'm a 64 year old commercial pilot in the retirement. I've always loved this form of aviation and furthermore, when aviation means a superior sense, a mission to achieve something great for others. My compliments to the fellow pilots making a great difference. Kudos to all of you! Greetings from Mexico.

    I've done some sketchy landings in heavy ice, thick fog and severe thunderstorms, but never anything remotely like that. I've done countless soft field and short field take offs and landings as well, but never on the side of a hill. As easy as you make it look, I still respect the hell out of the skills needed to pull that off. Great job!

    Outstanding flying. Inspired me. I went in to MS Flight Sim and hopped in the Pilatus PC-6 Porter and flew out of Moanemani to another grass strip 26 nm away. What an incredibly beautiful country! Flying along the river valley in the early morning with the sun just peaking over the hills occasionally was intense! Landing on the strip was a hair raising experience!
    Made me appreciate all the more what you do all day every day.

    If that had been a carrier landing, you would have picked up the first arresting cable with your tailhook. That landing was perfection. On final, I thought we were just a bit high and fast, but you stuck her right on the numbers, perfectly on the verge of stall, with vertical speed right where it should have been. And I love the way managed your rollout with minimal reverse thrust and taking advantage of that last high sloping knoll while you conserved energy from the landing to make sure you were able to get to the very top of the runway and swing around. I know that's a very capable airplane, but you managed all you energies and speeds and approach path and profile perfectly. Well done!

      @@mitseraffej5812 Hugely! Back then there was virtually no local Air services available. Even the few helicopters that supported oil exploration at that time were considered a rarity. This was the days of the Cargo Cult. Local indigenous people would see helicopters dropping off supplies to survey personnel, and build their own helipads in the jungle, hoping the helicopters would drop them supplies as well. It's so very different today.

      @@helibob2367 In the 90s I was flying a medivac aircraft in New Zealand and had a job up to Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. The airfield now takes B737s and the like but then it was just a narrow strip of bitumen.
      On arrival I had a strange sense of deja vu. I took a few photos and eventually figured out the reason for the feeling. My father had a photo of his brother standing in front of a Ventura bomber with his fellow airmen on the same airfield during WW2. During WW2 the field was just grass but other than that the same building and trees were in the photos I took, and the photo taken 50 plus years earlier. It even looked as if the same locals were standing around watching.
      As an aside my uncle and the rest of the crew went missing and presumed dead after hostilities had ceased. The wreckage was found in the 70s, most likely a weather related accident. The remains of the crew were interred on New Ireland.
