Good morning! Garry is flying south today and I thought I'd post a few pictures of what he is likely to see... or what you'd see if you were in the aiplane with him!

Palawan is a relatively small island, so you see a LOT of beach when you fly. There are a lot of reefs close to the shoreline also, which are quite easy to spot from the air. Just seeing the picture at the right makes me want to go snorkelling!

Here is Garry in the pilot's seat with a view past him and out the front window. Most of our airstrips look pretty short from this angle!


And once on the ground he'll park the airplane, unload and re-load. In the background is a missionary's house. Simple bamboo construction, as you can see, but quite nice inside!

Today he's taking cargo in and bringing team members back to town. Some of them will only come part-way to town in the airplane because this strip is far from town. The ones who finish the trip by road will take 4-5 hours in a bus to make the trip that is only 45 minutes by air! Even if you don't get motion sick, the jolting around on the the roads here is pretty rough on anybody!
