You may recall that we BORROWED an airplane from our good friends at JAARS Cameroon. It served us very well but our own airplane has been on site for some time and JAARS has finally decided that the best thing to do with the airplane would be to move it back to the USA for refurbishment and redeployment!
HOW DO YOU MOVE AN AIRPLANE
FROM AFRICA
TO THE USA?
... call up some friends!
 |
| Our friends from JAARS Cameroon, Grant, Jess and Emmanual (NASA suit) were joined by local friend, Bah (in the back) |
 |
| They were also joined by our good friend, whom you've seen on this blog many times before, Dan S. from JAARS USA! |
 |
| Simply put, to move an airplane from Africa to the USA... You might think, "Hey- just fly it there!" However, the alternative is to pull it apart into much small parts and then... |
 |
| ... take a break! ...well, yes, but then... |
 |
| You put it in a shipping Container... then on a big boat... the across the Atlantic Ocean... and there you go. Done. |
 |
| Much, much, much easier said then done... We are so thankful for this team. We are a small operation in the middle of the Central African Rainforest and CANNOT do these tasks without a great amount of teamwork. Thank you for being part of the journey and standing with us! And... p.s. ....  |
While they were there, Dr. Bintou, pilot Rob's
better half, was able to give Emmanuel an
eye exam at the Bongolo Eye Clinic!
