Over the last couple of years, I've transported some pretty unusual cargo... Here are some pictures!
 |
| Water tanks |
 |
| A plane full of Coca-Cola and 2-minute noodles (sadly, this is very common for cargo flights) |
 |
| Twenty boxes of day-old-chicks (and old tyres for a construction project) |
 |
| Metal posts for a solar installation project |
 |
| Adult cassowaries (used for important ceremonies) |
Other things I have taken include:
- a full size whiteboard
- solar panels
- coffins (both empty and occupied...)
Following my week with Glenys in April, I had another week in Telefomin with Mathias in May. The purpose was threefold:
- continue checking me into new areas and new airstrips
- finalise my advanced airstrip check
- annual VFR proficiency line check
This was quite an ambitious plan, but we made it work!
I also stayed on for the weekend and another couple of days to consolidate before heading back to Hagen.
