Doing the Missionary Bush Pilot thing

Featured Replies

Has anyone done this?… PNG bush strips around Goroka?

I’m going to give it a go in the updated Kodiak.

Any tips? What addons or mods do you recommend?

Not recently, but I used to.


I occasionally use Mentour Pilot's or Pilot Debrief's videos for route planning. Thanks to your post, Missionary Bush pilot is back on the list!


Regarding Missionary Bush Pilot and his Kodiak aircraft: I have FS2020, and the stock C208 fits the bill well, when emulating his flights. I also have the Black Square Steam Gauge Caravan, and it's this aircraft I use for MBP's bush airport hopping. Quite honestly, a smaller prop would work equally well.

Personally, the main problem is finding the destination and working out a vertical route down to it.

Scenery wide, I also use FS2020 Map Enhancer.

I have invested in the Kodiak but I love the Caravan as well… it’s a bush strip workhorse

the natives up in PNG always called the missionarys 'God Botherers' also Pidgen English was a pleasure to listen to - Balus - for airplane - palm tree belong ******* Christ - helicopter

Along with Alaska and Canada, PNG is a very popular bush-flying location. I love it, along with Australia, NZ, S.E. Asia, and the Pacific. Definitely my favourite region of the world.

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

Not to necessarily push payware, but have you checked out the PNG series through Orbx…? There’s 6 packs (and a 7th on the way). Each pack has about half dozen strips:
