Climbed Mt Wilhelm in 1969

Climbed Mt Wilhelm in 1969
Flew in from Goroka in Cessna - bigger than 172 as there were four of us plus the pilot. The strip was slightly uphill and had drainage strips like chevrons right up the strip, making a very exciting and bumpy landing. I was in the RAAF 38Sqn deployment in Goroka with one Caribou supporting the Australian Army Survey Corps doing a massive mapping program of the highlands. All that was at Keglsugl then was a Patrol Officer's quarters and a few native huts. Took us 24 hours up to Mt Wilhelm and back. Great weather - rained when we camped near the summit and the rain turned to ice as it ran off the tent. I got hypoxia and didn't get right to the top, which the others did in the dark!!
Take off from Keglsugl was a blast. The Cessna shook and bounced as we headed for the end, then we were airborne over a valley a thousand feet below. You don't fly in PNG with a weak heart.
Confusing situation...
This is the western part of the former RAF base, including the North-South runway. It is operated by the Ouse Gliding Club. The Eastern part is operated separately by the "York Flying Club".
Re: Who Updates This Site?
Please note the following two statements that can be found on the Flight Status page.
"Flight information is provided by FlightStats, and is subject to the FlightStats Terms of Use."
"Notice: Some flights may be not be listed, especially for smaller airports outside North America and Europe."
You should probably check the airport and/or the airline's websites for up-to-date flight information.
Airport / City Review
It is a standard airport with some international flights. Not too many people moving around. Mid point between Cancun and Mexico Southeast Region. Make should you get into the airport approved taxis or you might be into a little surprise /Force $$$ donation) using the street taxis that hang around the airport. The city is quite and there is an US Consulate. Hotel are good (usually US chain hotels). Tourist oriented city.
CYPQ PIREP
Restaurant onsite is very good. More than decent coffee, a yummy home-made soup, good sandwiches.
DO NOT BUY GAS HERE - it was $1.77+HST ($2.02) from teh ESSO truck. In contrast, the member price at Rockcliffe is $1.65 (and CYRP and CYSH are similar in price to CYRO).
Travel comments
Small airport , very busy as it serves Pemex to move people around to their drilling / Production platforms via helo. Direct flights to Houston. Security is standard, for international flights be there 2 hours ahead, as they (Intl carriers) have a more strict security "check in" procedure. Baggage claim area is small, so be patient, as local and international flights may mix in the same area. Customs is piece of cake, just have your documents ready for the Migra people.
To anon
Get over your self anon they are not that bad. Get your hand off it.
Who Updates This Site?
Do individual airlines update their flight listings? I am curious since I am in Jeju and was just informed by China Eastern Air via text that the airport is CLOSED at least until noon!
What is wify ?
First learn the spelling. Then we will even think of implementing it.

amravati airport and dam on tapi river in dharni taluka
Commercial airport and dam on tapi river is highly required for the developement of amravati region, as the water can be used for irrigation,drinking,industrial purpose, as tapi is one of the biggest river in the district, the dam must be consturcted on it as it will be very helpful for industrial needs,irrigation of agricultural area and drinking water in amravati distirct and airport is required as lot of people travel to pune,mumbai,hyderbad,chennai,bangalore,ahemadabad,surat,bhopal,indore,jabalpur, etc andto facilitate the industry. industrialist can easily reach their plant or visit site to set up a pnat/industry in amravati/nandgaon midc

Arrivals & Departure Pages
Note this on the bottom of that page. "Flight information is provided by FlightStats, and is subject to the FlightStats Terms of Use." www.flightstats.com would be the best spot to ask your questions as this website only links to there. Good luck!
arrivals & departure pages
the page on arrivals and departure sis completely useless - it tells us nothing ?
Are the planes late, on time, landed or what ???
What does scheduled mean
Flight QR633
QR633 on 13 January delayed. Departure time not listed on the board.
Flight schedule
Qatar airways has flight schedule of Thursday.
Contant Begging
I have a bad experience, requesting a wheel chair for my mother, no problem there. Whilst chair is being pushed, the person pushing the chair is constantly asking for money. What ever one gives is not enough. I ended up giving 600 Rupees, and that was still not enough.
Indian airports authorities need to look into this. India is the only place in the world where one gets constantly annoyed.

Comment
I used this airport about 9 years and back then I was subject to the usual Indian tradition of being asked for money...so I see nothing has changed - what a shame! I am hoping to use this in the near future, I really do hope I am not disappointed this time.
I think the one person above that did have something good to say must be either related to someone who works there or has been bribed (another well known Indian tradition)
No flight to and fro Jalgaon
Who will regret for "No flight to and fro Jalgaon". Why is this airport built wasting crores of tax payers' money?

Great day trip for a pie at the Miami Bakehouse next door
Visited this strip for a pie at the Miami bakehouse. Strip is quite rough - fenced on both sides so animals don't get in. Prior permission is required from the owner.
Landed at Keglsugl 16 October 1957

Cessna 172 Territory Airlines. Can't recall the pilots name. A sensational flight ex Goroka, unintended diversion over Ramu River and backtracked slightly west of Mt Wilhelm to locate the 'strip. At the time I believe it was the highest operational airstrip in the world? Re-commenced a three week Agricultural patrol of the Upper Chimbu Valley. On arrival back at Kundiawa flew to Goroka with Bobby Gibbes (former RAAF Wing Commander) of Gibbes Sepik Airways
The correct name for the gliding club
The correct name for the gliding club is "Beverley Soaring Society".
Amravati (belora) Airstrip
Amravati airstrip will remain as airstrip or it will get developed into a full fleged commercial airport without the airports it's diffuclt to attract industries.The dam on Tapi river is highly required for developement of industries,fisheries and irrigation,driking water supply in amravati district,bjp government has to again approve the construction of dam on tapi river asap as it will change the present and future of amravati district and amravati region.
