From the Logbook...Doing Your Doodie

(Disclamer: this post if a real world, life as a missionary bush pilot documentary about naturally occurring events.  They don't teach you about this stuff in flight school.)  
Because of the tropical heat I encounter here in Borneo, on an average flight day I will easily drink between 2 to 4 liters of water by the time the day is up, sometimes more.  So, what goes in must come out.  But, the WC's (bathrooms) we find on our docks leave a little to be desired by a 6 foot 3 inch tall Westerner.  Above is a common WC, complete with removable door.  At least it didn't smell bad!

If you find yourself having to do your doodie, this is the view out of the WC.  And yes, everyone knows what you are "dooing."  Thankfully, I haven't had to do this part yet.

But, after a nice visit to the WC, you will feel refreshed and ready to continue flying after you finish chatting with the guys on the dock that just saw/heard everything while you were doing your doodie.  Ah, the joys of being a missionary bush pilot.

@Chad the plumbing is great! In fact, i have never heard of one of their "toilets" backing up or becoming plugged. You don't even have to flush, it does it for you. State of the art technology.
