Favorite Aviation Blog: Bush Flying Diaries

Dear Fellow Aviation Junkies,

Recently I've seen a lot of gray weather where I live, which has been a great time to check out other people's blogs.  My brother-in-law told me about a British TV Series called "Worst Place to Be a Pilot" about pilots flying around Indonesia:

From a pilot's perspective, the narration is excessively dramatized, basically listing off the hundreds of ways a person could die in an airplane, so I wouldn't recommend it to people who are already scared of flying in a small plane.  However, the video footage they captured is phenomenal, capturing the thrill of flying in remote settings.

The episode above featured Matt Dearden, who has an excellent aviation blog about flying with Susi Air in Indonesia.  He also has some great GoPro footage from his flights into remote airstrips in Papua, Indonesia.  Check out my personal favorite video below:
