Chopper gets the locals on the job

May 2nd, 2008

Looks like our Philippines correspondent, Chop, will be in the air after all…

Hey Guys,

When there’s no launch in the jungle you just employ a few locals and away you go! Took them about 2 hours and cost 600 Pesos to clear an area to launch  (about AU$7.50) and they carried our paragliders out for us! Phil Robbo could use a few of these guys at Spring. Simon arrived last night and we have already had few local beers.

Cheers,

Chop
