Yongai in PNG to Fane in an old Fairchild

[bernd1151 5,851]

The Fairchild F24W was built between 1932 and 1946 and was known for its sturdy design and reliability. With its 165 hp engine it would cruise at 110 knots and offered a service ceiling of 12,700 ft

 

In Yongai we are still parked next to the chicken whisperer and wait for our two passengers

 

The two hunters want to go back to their families in Fane

 

We are all set to go

 

As customary, the whole village came to say good-bye

 

The runway was pretty bumpy, but we made it in one piece

 

 

 

 

No PTA here, I just played a bit with colors

 

We pass by Woitape

 

 

Getting close to Fane

 

 

 

 

 

She and her kids are glad to see husband and father again
