The Floating Hangar

     Within the last few years, this new facility in Central Borneo was constructed for our float plane operations.  Hearing stories about what life used to be like trying to fly and maintain aircraft at the old facilities sounds really hard.  I am really grateful to be able to serve here now with these new and HIGHLY improved facilities.  
     The river water levels can fluctuate a lot due to rainfall here on the equator.  I am told that the river usually gets high enough that you actually walk a little bit "uphill" when going from the office on the right to the hangar on the left.  That will be neat to see when we return to PLR in about 6 months after finishing language school.
