Flights all day!

Saturday started early for Jason (an MAF pilot) and I as we started our trip to the airport.  We had to leave the house by 6:40am.  

There are kids who always clean the car with a dirty rag when we're on our way to the airport.  Jason gave this guy a little bit of money for his work. 

In this picture, we on our way to Cap-Haitian! The first flight of the day. We departed around 8:00 and arrived there about 8:45. We were carrying one passenger and picking up two other passengers. 

Here we are leaving Cap-Haitian! It's beautiful from the sky, although if you look closely a lot of the houses are destroyed by the water or are just run down in general.  

Leaving Cap, we flew by the Citadel.  It was built in the 1800's to protect the city from invaders.  

Our next flight was to La Gonave! Its a small island off the coast of Haiti. 

Me in La Gonave! It's a dirt strip. 

Leaving La Gonave! The water is so beautiful :) 

Our final flight of the day was to Pignon.  It was supposed to depart at 1:00 but our passenger came early so we left about 12:15. 

On final into Pignon! Its a 4,000 ft grass strip. 

When we got to Pignon, Fred(the one on the left) invited us over to his house for sandwiches.  Jason met him when him and his wife lived in the village for three months learning the language.  Fred was picking up our passenger! 

Jason and Fred got to talking about solar panels.  Apparently, Fred's solar panels haven't been putting out the amount of amps that they should.  So Jason climbed up onto the roof with him and had a look. They were up there for at least an hour checking out all the wiring for the solar panels. 

Riding back to the airport! 

When we returned to the airport, some people were sleeping under the airplane. Haha!

I met a Lynchburgian while in Pignon! Imagine that! It is a small world. He comes down to Haiti regularly to help out with Fred's ministry.  

We have a late return to Port au Prince.  It's been a full day, but fun! I'm thankful that God kept us safe on all our flights and for all of the awesome memories!
