  • This film was recorded in the Village of Yegeiyepa, a remote location in the jungles of West Papua. In this short film I'm taking you to the moment an Airplane Landed For the First Time. This is PART ONE of Two.
    Enjoy!
    Due to a mistake I made while editing, one of the scenes become blurred and I didn't notice. The footage shows the Chief of the Village, Johanes Kegou, very emotional after the first landing with goods and people from the main city. This will be shown in Part Two.

    The few camera mistakes actually add to the quality of this video. Being in that place is being in another world, another time so the camera being out of focus or zoomed in highlights the disorienting feeling of moving to another place in time. These people worked hard to get a plane to land in their tiny spot on this earth, amazing.

Well done and please keep it up.

    I remember that many years ago around 1965/6 I went on a demo flight in one of these Pilatus Porter aircraft as we were flying downwind the pilot ask DF Malan, Cape Town, RSA tower for permission to begin his landing 2000 feet over the apron, permission was granted, well right above the apron he went vertical and I was left hanging in the harness when he threw her into reverse pitch and slicked the plane right onto the start of the runway. Needless to say they had to use a long lever to brake the vacuum to free me from the seat.
