From the logbook...All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

For the better part of this week, things have looked like the picture above; just flat out gray and dreary. In the late afternoon, the weather has been getting better, but usually it is too late to get a flight done. I did make a quick flight yesterday afternoon and today to get some patients. Yesterday it was a 9 month old baby, today was a miscarriage gone bad.


The man in the maroon shirt is the government appointed community doctor along with a community member carrying the patient to my airplane. After tons of rain, the airstrips are all in poor shape with lots of mud, and even more slipping and sliding. Shortly after I took this picture I was setting a course back to Shell with this girl and her husband where an awaiting ambulance took them to the hospital.
