Yes flying below 500' is illegal in Oz (wasn't in PNG) but it's not in many other places like the US and UK.

Thanks for sharing the photos James I can hear the old Dak lumbering down the Mendi strip.
1971 was a busy year in Mendi with the changeover of PWD to the Army.
I travelled that year to Madang and was flown by Peter Manser and Bill Rogers.
From the Baiyer river to Madang was solid IMC and how the hell they found the runway is still a mystery to me being partially IFR in the cockpit as well from Mansers Craven A's.

Hadn't heard of that one but I saw a Yank reality show where a guy flew low along a runway while another guy in the back of a pickup pulled down his stuck undercarriage. A Piper I think it was...

Yank and reality in the same sentence
oh hang on,.... I didn't see the word show.
Similar has been performed many times n Oz, including a mate of mine hanging out the door of Cessna retractable using a seatbelt to hook the main gear to lock.

When did the Sunbird go from the TN tails? I left PNG the first time in 1968 and the Sunbird was still there. The only aircraft I can remember seeing with the tail shown as in your photograph in those days was VH AEQ - the one with rectangular windows - I think called a "Tourliner".
Tinpis
I was at the Lae strip when a DC3 landed with branches hanging off its tail and it taxied straight into the MAL hangar!! That was on a trip from GKA... I believed GS was at the helm.
Those were the days.
Does anyone recall Len Cooper shooting at the "dogs" barking in the swamp whilst rescueing a single engined Otter?

I believe the Sunduck left our tails in 1969-70 when a new "T" tail logo was painted......I am sure there is someone out there with a better memory than mine......
It was called a view-master and I dont think it was AEQ, it was TAK.... some things will never die in my memory......
God, I miss those days.......
Cheers,
