My second flight was a post maintenance flight. These are usually quick and during my flight I found out my airspeed indicator didn't work. It kinda makes for a weird sensation when you know you are going 140 MPH and the airspeed says "0." After landing a lot of flies were found in the pitot tube (the thingy that make the airspeed work) and they were removed.
For my third flight I switched planes for the third time and went to a close village called Villano to pick up a man that fell out of a tree. He was in pretty bad pain, and luckily the ambulance showed up quickly after my arrival. His stretcher was a simple board, cut flat with a chainsaw.
As I was getting ready to leave on my third flight, our Quito pilot was as well. He flew down from Quito to take a patient from the local hospital up to Quito to receive more advanced care. 50 minutes later they landed in Quito, instead of the 5 hour trip via ambulance.
