Medicines, beans and a very large dish.

One flight to Doro Maban yesterday for Medair with some additional freight for SIM (Serving In Mission). It's good to see our partners working together and sharing a flight when they have the chance.

The freight (around 700kgs) was mostly made up of medical supplies and food, plus a rather large satellite dish. The dish came in two halves and it was quite a tight squeeze even getting each half through the cargo door of the caravan.

On my return to Juba I parked next to the newest aircraft in our fleet, the diesel engined C182. This little aircraft seats only four and we hope it will enable us to serve organisations for whom the cost of a caravan is just too high. I parked on one side of the C182 and another of our caravans was on the other side. It gave the impression of two bigger brothers standing protectively over their little brother, which I thought was nice.
