For a jungle strip it looks like it is in pretty good shape. What is the elevation there? Are there any special requirements for flying in?

No special requirement to fly there.
Elevation is about 400ft.
The strip used to be long, now the usable part is like 1000ft a bit uneven but acceptable.
The rest has stumps, hidden rocks, holes etc.

My plane has been the first to land there like in 15 years.

Kids love the plane :)

Good job on giving to the community there. That's some of the most rewarding flying a person can do.
