Join us as we depart Goroga(AYGA) for some small strips around PNG to deliver cargo to the local viliages and finally return to Goroga our base.

Hi Paul, I know the airport called Goroga is one from online & has been spelt this way. It’s incorrect however & the correct name for it is Goroka with a “k”.
Haven’t done any online group flights yet & not sure I’ll be able to join for this one but could be interested as I grew up in PNG & spent 5 years at Mt Hagen. Have recently been flying the Milviz PC6 there in VR & enjoying it immensely. One of my favourite places to fly in the sim & real life when we lived there.
Thanks for your feedback. Hope you can join us in a future flight soon.
Regards, Paul
