A friend flies a turo Porter for Associated Mission Aviation in Jayapura Indonesia. He flies 100+ hours a month and can make as many as 3 landing an hour during his long and stressful work day. He works the mountain airstrips about 100 air miles from Sentani a major airport that he returns to each night.
This one shows the most extreme landing yet him, Benban airport is 250 meters and up to 29% slope at the top half. He does this with up to 14 people on board!!!

Looks like a nice day – it must get really hairy with some mountain turbulence and hill fog…

Looks pretty intense. Must be a lot of challenging but interesting flying going on in those parts of the worlds.

That looks like some exciting flying, you’d sure have to have good nerves to be flying there.
Thanks for sharing.
