As Isaac climbed out of the water, he was suspiciously congratulated by our Indonesian workers, who knew they might be thrown into the river for their part in a covert dunking conspiracy. Fortunately, they stayed dry.
However, Isaac's family was at our dock to witness his first float plane solo flight. His two boys came prepared to celebrate, complete with their swimming suits. Nothing like a family plunge to celebrate a once in a lifetime memory!
Isaac and I shared many laughs in the cockpit, and not all of them were about his landings. Isaac is a great addition to our team and his humor and attitude toward service are an encouragement to us all.
Isaac is the first MAF pilot that I have been privileged to train, and the first person I have ever taught to fly a float plane. We both had a great time working together and there are sure to be many more laughs around the dock with him around.
