Is someone fibbing here? In the _Plane and Pilot_ article I referred to

the thread, this particularly nasty airstrip (but "cake" for Waldo, Urb,

Packie) is shown as having been carved from the jungle in Kalimantan,
Indonesia, which is a damn fur piece from South Africa.

Don't know who's fibbing, but I will try and find out. I will contact
the missions agency on Monday and ask where they got the picture. It's
also shown on their website.

Nevertheless, Africa, Indonesia, who cares, I don't wanna land there!

Sorry, Gerrie. Poor choice of words on my part. I shouldn't suggest
someone is pulling one here. Look at the current P&P, though, and you will
see that wild looking strip said to be in Indonesia.

It looks to be a good candidate for Chris Heintz's CH 701 or the bigger CH
bushplane, both with eyebrows for STOL.
