Last day in Bengkulu has come.
Today we woke up for the last time in Bengkulu for a while, bags packed and loaded in the car we said our goodbyes to the crew and headed for the airport. The weather today has been perfect! Just a few clouds here and there but otherwise blue skies. We had a quick flight to Enggano with nothing out of the ordinary. Back in Bengkulu we had a quick lunch of the usual, said our goodbyes to the lady that owns the little warung that we eat at and the crew at the airport, started the plane up and shot off towards Muko-Muko.

Again weather was great and we had no problems all the way to Padang. On arrival we met up with the pilots we were swapping with and had a nice little chat about life before they left. We are now back in the house for the night before leaving for Pangandaran tomorrow morning for the annual PPC. The PPC usually take about 5 days, with test, sims and a flight before we are let loose into the skies of Indo for another year:)
And that is all for today!

Hi, Mike. So, bye Bengkulu, hello PPC. Good luck, then! May be later you can post some fresh photos from Pangandaran. Enganno is part of this tour, so it seems. Back in January 2014, Enganno Island was part of Susi Air Jambi tour, as far as I know. Do you think it will be possible to open pics you post here? Thanks and cheers. PS: How can I change my registration name?
Hi Carlos, yup straight into it, should be done in a couple days. We fly to Enggano, Muko-Muko and Padang on the Bengkulu tours. It does chop and change every year though, depending on the perintis contracts. Yup, I’ll change the picture settings. To change your name I will have to do that from my side. Just send me an email mike@box2116.temp.domains and I’ll be happy to change it to whatever. I am still figuring out the signup thing, not very user friendly I must say.
Cheers,
Mike
