Also, couldn't spot the wreckage. Can anyone give me a timestamp on that?

@AdamJLemon I think its the smoke rising in the beginning of the film

Can't tell if the Caravan has really poor climb performance, or if it's just an illusion produced by the undulating terrain.

I flew with Susi from Mulia to Jayapura two weeks ago (visiting Remco from MDM in Mulia). The flight was simply amazing!

I believe that Otter wreck to be the MAF crash in which two of our pilots were killed not too long ago, looks allot like the type of flying and skill and scenery we experience at MAF but in many different locations all over the world - some of the most remote 'runways' and pathways get regular visits from our hardworking aircraft (Cessna caravans and various bush aircraft)providing a lifeline to the rural communities and missionaries who serve them.

I think the crash you are thinking of was P2-MFQ, which crashed near Tabubil was in Papua New Guinea, not Papua.
