I enjoy hearing the PNG operators say "Apinun" and the Australian's "G'day". But I really love it when Goroka tower says "(Apinun) Ryan". Coming home safe, nothing better.

30+ years ago, did a similar run - just out of High School, was only Pax on Company Swearingen Merlin - Cairns to Aropa (even less Traffic than POM) - Pilot puts me in RH seat. Get to Cruise altitude, sets autopilot, then tells me "That is our call sign - if you hear it, wake me...", and promptly leans against side of cockpit, and puts newspaper over his face to block the glare, and I presume, naps for 30 minutes. Heart was racing and eyes were everywhere...
