First Solo in Cameroon!!!!

Bro. Needham and I went out to practice flying on a beautiful end of rainy season day today. I wanted to stay around Sabga and just practice on the airstrip here. I had never landed here but have been practicing at other fields. I did about 3 or 4 landings with brother Tom after which he decided to get out of the plane. He has been a great teacher these last few months.

I made three takeoffs and landings solo and am tailwheel current again. This was my first flight as pilot in command in Africa...a dream come true! Praise the Lord for safety and wisdom today. Please continue to pray for many more safe flights as training turns into ministry. I hope to get checked out in the bush strips of Akwaya in the coming weeks. There will be a medical/dental evangelism in the bush in January.

Short final...

Touchdown...

Taxi to hangar...

With my family...whenever Elias and Elena hear an airplane (especially Elias) they will scream with delight and run outside to see. Elias came running to greet me after the flight with, "Daddy, Daddy!"

October Update

It has been a while since we put up any pictures...here are a few.

We took a quick picnic with the Needhams, Jennie S., Don Wright, and John Pruden. Then they all came to see our house. We miss our two mechanic brothers...they were a real blessing to have around.
