A few weeks back while making a scheduled run to a destination about an hour from PalangkaRaya, I was asked by a local pastor if he could come along and be dropped off a little farther upstream. Of course I made room for him and we found his destination about 5 miles upstream from my original destination. After determining a safe way to land and takeoff from this little village, I had him at the dock shortly thereafter. Although we were only 3 minutes flight time upstream from my original destination, to travel there by small boat would have taken almost 2 hours! After a short, but heavy, rain shower passed overhead, I took off and flew 3 minutes back to my original destination and got "back on schedule."
