The last few weeks have been quite busy and has been hard to post any updates. There are a few stories to post in the next week or so. For the mean time here are some statistics from our operations in 2008 here in PNG. Obviously I can’t post all of them, but here are a few interesting ones. The main one that I appreciate, is that despite lower flying hours than previous years. We carried out more subsidised church work and high value flying than recorded in previous years. Even though they don’t include stories of how they have impacted lives and are figures, I hope they are an encouragement.
