On the return leg I had 8 passengers, more than half of them children, plus several dozen flies! Fortunately flies get a little sleepy up at altitude and stop flying around quite as much as they do near the ground, but they're still rather annoying.
Jiech is still dry, as you can see from the dust being blown around by the helicopter in the picture below, but as I was departing for Juba there was a line of thunderstorms just to the east so it looks like they may be getting some rain this afternoon.
