From the Logbook...checkout into Tumbang Naan

Last week I had the opportunity to "check out" our newest pilot into Tumbang Naan.  Naan has it's own set of challenges, so it was fun to finally have a chance to get Aaron checked out into this very remote place.  Above, Aaron is taking off for the first time in Naan by himself after we had already done several takeoffs and landings together.

Naan isn't a straight stretch of river.  Instead, it make an "S" shape and Aaron can be seen just lifting off of the water in the second curve of the "S."  So cool!!!

Of course, you have to navigate the "S" turn for landing as well.  Aaron did a great job in Naan and it's great to have another pilot ready to serve this extremely remote village.
