We've been back from Home Assignment for just over7 weeks and today I flew to Renk for the 7th time since we returned. It's a long way. The run up to Renk for MEDAIR is the longest flight we do here in S Sudan and it's about 3 hours each way. Although it's a rather long flight, it's great to be part of the work that MEDAIR are doing and it really hits home what a difference the aircraft can make: the 3 hour trip would apparently take about 5 days by road and part of the 'road' is only passable in the dry season.
Instead of the usual prayer from the cockpit today it was great to stand under the wing of the aircraft with 6 or 7 others while one of the MEDAIR team members prayed for the flight and for those who remained behind to continue the work.
