Papua New Guinea Screening
On August 27, 2005 Pacific Ghost hosted a screening and reception at the Airways Hotel, a perfect location for many historical reasons. The hotel overlooks Jacksons (7-Mile) Aerodrome, the designated landing strip for the February 23, 1942 mission's B-17s landed low on fuel. Only the 'The Swamp Ghost' failed to land, instead force landing in a distant swamp. Port Moresby was also the location the crew reached arrived after their escape from the swamp. The reception was held inside the Balus Bar, an ex-WWII C-47 painted in Air Niugini markings. Many special guests attended, including: a government minister, national museum Staff, tourism & promotion, RSL representatives, the business community, and local residents.
