Not going to throw the BS card on the table. Based on my personal experience even before FJ, you’ve received bad intel. Expensive... yes... airlifted, probably by FJ. Difficult... negative. From personal experience, along with fellow ferry colleagues who also ferried airframes from Austral-Asia to the US. The adult beverages and fresh sea food and great people took the sting out of being broke down on the island... just saying.
