Here's Tuesday's flight:
Blast-off from Yaounde |
Great weather enroute on this leg (1.3 hours)- You can see Mount Cameroon rising in the distance. |
The pickup happened at an airport next to this large Del Monte Banana plantation- "TIKO" airport |
With the patient loaded in the Cessna 207, the clinic workers got out their cell phones to snap a couple shots with the aircraft. |
Next leg was to the mountainous and beautiful NW region of Cameroon. Our takeoff was at sea level, we cruised at 11,000 feet, and landed at 7,000 feet. |
We landed, taxied to the top of the sloped runway (12% upslope) then spun it around to prep for takeoff. This is looking NW'erly out of the end of the horseshoe/bowl of the valley. |
On the way back to Yaounde, we buzzed by the national soccer stadium where the "indomitable Lions" play their games. |
