I noticed that it has been a whole five days since I last posted. I guess not a whole lot of interest has been going on around here... Except for today...
Today one of our four Cessna Caravans had a hard landing at an interior village and one of the wings got bent. (This ends our very long no accident streak) Blessedly, no one was injured. But the two pilots are stranded in the village right now. Thankfully there is an expat missionary there who they can stay with. This is not good news as two of our other caravans are in the process of being repaired right now and we are training some pilots from one of our other progams on how to fly the larger Caravans. The plane that will go to that program arrived here last week from America. A guy actually flew it from there to here by himself with just a big tank of jet fuel as his companion. Think about it, there are no bathrooms on a Cessna Caravan.... It's about a 4-5 day trip...
Anyways, please pray for the pilots as this is a really tough thing to have to deal with and go through as there are many reprecussions that follow and incident such as this.
