It's amazing how aviation is so lovingly embraced when there's no infrastructure to speak of.

It is pretty nice to see aviation so embraced by the people. Every time I land anywhere, half the village turns up to the airstrip to watch. It's the highlight of their day for most of them. As Dogpilot says, Indonesia is so spread out of thousands of islands with very little infrastructure, aircraft really are the only way to get about in many parts.

Yeah, Dogpilot's pretty much nailed it there. And I really do haul a lot of rice and wouldn't dare haul "rice" in this country!
