I think I would rather be paid in "chooks" than "chicks" from what I saw.

I was offered "weed" for a seat on a flight to the Great Barrier Island....but no surprise there really.

"rather be paid in "chooks" than "chicks" from what I saw" ...... ahhhh , yes , not quite Tahiti CP . Ive always been weary of woman with size 13 feet carrying a shotgun .
I reckon a silicone implant specialist would make a mint over there .... but then again .... maybe not.

Interestingly, if you guys remember HardCorePawn, Jarad(?), he has just got a job with Susi air.

What a coincidence. Good on him. It looks similar but a little safer than flying in the PNG highlands.

After watching this episode (which is awesome by the way!) all i can think to myself is.....Dude......F#@K that for a living!

I mean don't get me wrong i had mates go over and fly in PNG to build their hours too but i had no idea those were the type of flying conditions! I cherish my life wayyyy to much to ever risk that.

This guy has Season One of Bush Pilots (Africa) if you like that sort of thing https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTU536 ... xJA/videos

Yes indeed its Jarad, I know of others done exactly that, one is PNG and other got a job bush flying in Canada, amazing how far people spread their wings for work, good friend flew in Saba - Borneo and regular to have machine guns pointed at you.

More exaggerated hyped up GoPro footage- but entertaining all the same.

Can be viewed each Tuesday on Channel 4 on demand (UK) with the Hola browser extenstion.

by **Ian Warren** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 8:19 pm

It is pleasing to see so many pieces of footage, go even less than ten years back it was impossible.

Darn can't get the vid anymore.....was watching it last night and finish it tonight. Anybody got another link?

by **Nzeddy** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 10:56 pm

Not sure why he added a frame around it.
