Nearing the end of the long voyage from OHIO to the middle of nowhere, central Africa! |
Across the last bridge on the "back road" into Bongolo Hospital, Lebamba, Gabon. |
Onto the hospital campus and around back to the depot building. |
One container was medications and the other a mix of items that included our 15 drums of 100 low-lead aviation fuel. |
They're actually there! The team in the US (MMS Aviation; ARK Transport) did such a great job on their end- it showed! |
Barry (in truck) and Paul worked hard to get the first things out of the way and then the wrestling match with each barrel began. Not easy without a fork lift! |
Voila! One by one they come off. |
They'll be stored temporarily at the hospital depot and then make their way out to the airport hangar. |
What a HUGE occasion for our program! We were chained to $23/gallon AvGas, but now we've seen that another source is very possible!
A BIG "Merci Beaucoup" to all those that have made this possible, especially those in the Indianapolis, IN area- you know who you are!
