Re: Twin Otter landing at Maramui in Papua New Guinea
I get to watch the academy's Twin Otter take off, fly and land on a near daily basis from work. It's their jump plane. Pretty tame most of the time, but occasionally the pilot will put the plane through its paces to some degree--taking off, immediately going into a steep climb and turn, gaining altitude for the jumps.
