Boom Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Flying over New Guinea was considered one of the most dangerous and difficult places during the war, simply due to the rapidity of weather changes and mountains. Numerous planes simply disappeared. The film below is modern day (flying from Matiyama to Wewak on the north coast of Papua New Guinea), and illustrates just how quickly weather can change. And the challenges that a pilot would face. Imagine being in the same position as this pilot, but no radar, weather satellites, GPS or glass cockpit eg G1000 etc. Kinda scary. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
