Wings of love to people in need

Quite Busy!

Whereas not a typical occurrence, these next few pictures offer a snapshot of two days during this last week (14th and 15th August) that Mercy Air had all of it's four aircraft out at the same time.

The first photo is the wider picture showing where we went in relation to southern Africa.
For scale, Madagasgar is 1.7 times the length of the UK, or the equivalent of from the UK to N. Africa.
Next, zoomed in a little. One helicopter was in the Zambezi Delta region (top right) and the other flying clinics in Mamoli, south of Maputo (bottom centre-right).
The Cessna 310 flew back from Chimoio in central Mozambique, through Beira and on to Mercy Air, after which it continued on to Johannesburg. The following day it flew a dental team up to the Limpopo province and back.

Meanwhile the Kodiak was busy in the Lowveld and northern Kwa Zulu Natal.
The next images show the tracks of the heli in the Zambezi Delta...
.. and then that of the heli in the south of Mozambique.
In all, our flight tracking software showed over 32 hours of combined flight time and a distance flown of 3500 miles (5600km).

Thank you.

Paul for the Mercy Air team.
