    As a Brazilian air traffic controller, I can't find a word to describe how beautiful and wonderful was this film. This is amazing! Looks like a dream! You are making history! Some tears dropped from my eyes watching this video and the kids having fun with the drone. God bless you! I'm already a fan of you! You connect this people to the rest of the world!

    So very familiar. We worked at Tiom in West Papua 1973-75 and MAF serviced our area. Our daughter was born at Mulia. She is 48 now. My wife is now passed. A trek that took me 2 days, we could cover in a 10 minute flight. So many memories. The Danis were wonderful people.

    Becoming a pilot in Papua is very difficult due to uncertain natural conditions. If there is a pilot who can fly in Papua then he can fly anywhere in the world. Without any international administrative restrictions, you have the ability to fly without geographical restrictions anywhere on the planet. God bless Mr. Pilot

    The Pilatus Porter was the first ever plane I flew on back in 1967 when I was just 7yrs old. Dad worked on the Snowy Mountains Scheme in Australia, and the Pilatus was a major transportation method for the smaller remote Townships of "The Snowy" . Still one of my very favorite planes of all time. I have a model on my desk at work. Your videos are great. Thanks for the memories ....haha

    I hope the spirit of past aviators look after your plucky plane and its engine; I spotted a few trees out there ! :)

    I was a missionary for about 10 years, first in South America and then in Myanmar. I have landed (as a passenger) on sketchy remote bush strips many, many times. This brought back a lot of memories.

    In 30 years of flying, I have had two engine outs. Both times I had the altitude to reach a runaway but even if I had not made a runway though there were still decent options (fields/clearings/roads) available. Still, I am always looking for a spot to land in an emergency.
    In all of that incredibly beautiful scenery, I did not see any place to survive an engine out other than the two runways! You gotta love having that turbine huh? :)
    (EDIT: On a second watch I did notice a riverbed off the end of Pending that could be survivable!)

      Those Rivera are full of huge rocks hahaha it's not like a big ol flat river like the ones in the states, most rivers in Papua are windy and dnagerous

      Rob Johnson Papua is notorious as a difficult place to fly. As you point out few emergency landing sites but also the mountains, winds and clouds and quickly changeable weather. Some young pilots from Australia and New Zealand head there to get their hours up. It’s not for the faint hearted.

      Would adding a jetpack for a soft emergency landing in those final moments before touchdown add too much weight to a small plane?

      Its a PT-6 and unlikely to quit, but still I feel your angst. I had a 172 pop a cylinder while I was in the pattern, fortunately I had enough energy, altitude and 3 cylinder time to make the runway.
