I’m guessing the airstrip was somewhat less than what it is these days. I believe they want to start taking ATRs into one day but then they’ve been saying that for years!

The landing had been delayed for a couple of weeks until the wing of the crashed C-130 had been sawed-off.

Would give anything to re-visit those wonderful people at Long Bawan.
