Rather than hijack Jeff's Africa thread any further, here's a shot of some Pacific bush.  The volcano is just across the water from the end of the Tokua, Papua New Guinea airstrip.  It's got about 4 stages of eruption - the white and red burst shown here, a plume of black smoke, a narrower black plume with flying rocks and a black smoke/red burst.  Very neat.  Just off the port wingtip at about 10 o'clock, there's another sea level 'eruption'.  I don't know whether it's a blowhole or simply steam but it certainly adds to the activity in the area.

There are 39 airports and 18 waterports/helipads scattered throughout the region.  They're all based on real locations and range from sea level strips to some at over 11,500', all short to medium length.  There's even a helipad at 11,527' for Klaus to play on!

For those interested, the package is Raw Grit: PNG Bushpilot/Extreme Bush Pilot from Pacific Island Simulations.  I've only scratched the surface but it looks like a lot of challenging fun.

Love the tail paint on the Twotter.  Skin also available at PIS.  All settings are default for water.  Haven't played with that, yet.  Did add a PNG mesh, though.

I own this. But I never fly there anymore. Too much to see in RTMM land!

Nice pics, Nadine.  Not sure I'd want to get that close to an active volcano in an ultralight, though, particularly one that's spewing hot rock or pumice!

Just for the record...this is Tavurvur volcano, a very active subvent of the Rabaul volcano whose caldera I'm flying over.  A little ways off my port wingtip is Vulcan, another vent.  Both Tavurvur and Vulcan erupted simultaneously in 1994, forcing the evacuation of Rabaul City which is around the coast to my starboard nose.

That is the geography lesson for today.
