I regret not having joined bush flying earlier. After completion of my CPL, I worked as a flight instructor in Australia, which I did not enjoy at all. There are many reasons, but let’s not get into it now


Flying in West Papua blows my mind all the time! One thing I love about my job is finding hidden waterfalls that were not discovered by any humans. Simply, there is no way to get there!


I have spotted blue holes in the middle of jungle, lakes that monsters might live within, clear rivers, hidden waterfalls, small villages that have one or two houses, and more!


I have landed in many Papuan villages where the people are just so humble, kind, and generous. Taking selfies, and looking around villages is another joy of bush flying.


I love flying in the jungle. We see new things everyday and I appreciate how much mother nature is giving us unconditionally.


Flying over Raja Ampat! the best place in the world for diving!

Two lakes next to each other. According to locals, one is male and the other one is female.



Nice and calm morning.
