PNG in January is in the North West Monsoon - humidity you can cut with a knife. I was there in'76
My time at Ohakea was interesting as we exercised for two weeks with the RNZ Air Force. They had A4 aircraft and we had F-4D's, some that had shot down Migs in 'Nam. Spent some time in Palmerston North and a Kiwi Sergeant named Roy Carmody took us on a tour of North Island. Great guy and wonderful time.

Below is a picture of one morning on the flight line at Ohakea.
