Yei, Motot, a Base Check and an update on Leer

Yesterday was quite a busy day. In the morning I took two passengers to Yei for the Baptist Convention of South Sudan, accompanied by one of our pilots from Nairobi. After dropping the passengers in Yei we flew for about an hour and a half in that area and en-route back to Juba to complete my Base Check. Base Checks are assessments which we all need to do twice a year to check proficiency in handling the aeroplane and in dealing with emergencies.

After we landed back in Juba we had another flight up to Motot for Tearfund. We took a ton of freight up to Motot and returned with one passenger to Juba.


For those who read the blog about bicycles to Leer and wondered what all those bikes could be used for: they will be given to Medair Nutrition Assistants to enable them to do home visits as part of their community malnutrition management programme.
