Flying from Shangri-La - bush flying in Papua, Indonesia

G'day all,

As a past contributor to this wonderful website (I wrote an article on flying the awesome Pilatus Porter in Papua), I thought you might like to hear about my new book:

It's out now on Amazon Kindle and as a hardback. More details on my website here:

It's been getting great reviews so I know ya'll enjoy it :-)

Cheers

Matt Dearden

There are lots of folks here “working the backcountry,” they’ve just just been driven into silence.

?

Why is that in quotes and how were working pilots driven into silence?
I make my money flying planes and speak my mind

1. He’s quoting to allow you sole credit for the phrase

2. One possible explanation for reduced engagement from working pilots is that they dread you trying to argue with them
