We got on a 12-seat single prop plane heading for the coast. You had to squeeze by people to get to your seat. It was like getting into a phone booth. Up we went over the mountains and then along the beaches until we reached the landing strip in the small town that was our jumping-off point. I sat right behind the pilot and we’re looking down at the landing strip here. Not only was the runway short, but the town cemetery was right alongside it. We landed nicely and got out into the jungle heat.
