Captain David Inau from Sapuain village in the East Sepik Province has died.
He had a colorful career in aviation.
He was inspired by Bishop Leo Arkfeld who and joined the military and went for aviation training at Point Cook in Victoria, Australia.
Inau made history flying solo on a military aircraft from Melbourne to Papua New Guinea.
When the military suspended him after a landing incident in Western Province he became a commercial pilot.
He used to fly the Caravan for Vanair owned by Garamut in Vanimo.
Once he landed in Green River along the hinterland from Vanimo.
There was a passenger in Moses Inau the late Inau was puzzled how they shared the same surname.
He then told Moses to just get on the plane.
Captain Inau was the lead on establishing the police Air Transport Wing and he flew the helicopter.
Some of his recent work were with the Accidents Investigations Commission as CEO and helping out with the Catholic Diocese in Vanimo.
Many aviators and everyone else who knew him are offering their consolences.
Rest In Peace Captain David Inau
