It's been a while

Now that I'm flying again I think it's about time I got back to this flying blog!

We had a great time with family and friends on Home Assignment and now we are back in Nairobi again. The MAF flying in South Sudan is continuing, although at a reduced level while the pilots and their families are still based in Nairobi. I'm now doing some flights here in Kenya and spending each third or fourth week up in Juba to fly within South Sudan.

I'm not going to write about each flight individually for now but, since our return just over two weeks ago, I have done 8 days of flying which was made up of 33 legs, 24 of those up in South Sudan. In those 8 days I flew 35 hours and customers have included Dan Church Aid, AIM, ZOA, Toposa Team South Sudan, ECS, Medair, Tearfund, Sudan Evangelical Mission, Action Africa Help International, Seed Effect and International Medical Corps.

It has been great to get back to some of the familiar old airstrips and to work with the South Sudan team again, along with flying here in Kenya. South Sudan remains very tense so please pray for peace to be restored in that troubled country.
