    Jim and TJ, you're doing exactly what I would be doing if I had the health, resources and time. I hope you felt like you were special when you fell asleep that night because that's the way I felt after watching your video. Thanks for Sharing!

    besides getting killed 12 times and eaten by cannibals , it was a pretty boring job lol most of the time in pure terror on some of those remote mtn strips uphill down hill barely wide enough for the landing gear. lots and lots of dangerous mtn s at the end of most of those runways

      Yes the porter is a unique design. Great STOL plane, but if we are going that slow, I'll take the piston power. Jim

      All true, but, if you want to cross the great expanse, and do it in the pilot's seat, these planes planes are amazing. Jim
