291 - Flying in the Papuan Bush


Listen Later

Guest: Daniel Geaslen    Host: Markus Voelter    Shownoter: Mario Winkler

I chat with Daniel Geaslen about bush flying. His (at this time, former) job is to fly Kodiak turbo props for Mission Aviation Fellowship in Papua Indonesia, supplying remote villages. We cover the airplane, the missions, as well as the flying itself, with a particular focus on weather and challenging airfields.
