Collection of personal accounts of flying in Papua New Guinea, both humourous and revealing, with contributions by a variety of prominent researchers and contributors to the development of Papua New Guinea. Flying in Papua New Guinea in small aircraft is often adventurous, dramatic, exhilarating or surprising. Nervous passengers are often all too aware that many clouds have hard centres, yet after the flights their experiences become the material for favourite yarns. The authors tell a variety of these with zest and humour, while their fascination and engagement with the country and its people also shine through.
