  • TH E ORNEY Flying in Chad
    Volume 12 - Issue E May 2016 ORNEY Dave: www.theforneyflyer.blogspot.com Joy: www.joyforney.org FIELD REPORT: TH LYER 2 Dave,F Joy, Britt, Hannah, Hudson, Tanner, Tyler, and Gift EAST AFRICA Flying in Chad MAF flies to thousands of locations in dozens of countries throughout the world. In fact, about every three minutes an MAF aircraft is taking off or landing somewhere at the ‘ends of the earth,’ bringing help and hope to people in some of the hardest-to-reach places. Chad is one such 1 2 place—a vast country with some of the most desolate and 4 3 inhospitable terrain on the planet. The needs in Chad are as immense and dynamic as the ever-changing, sun-scorched Saharan sands, which cover much of the country. Recently, the MAF Chad Program sent their Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft down here to Uganda for a major avionics (radio instruments) upgrade—a huge job that will take several months to complete. So in the meantime the MAF Uganda Program agreed to send one of our Caravans up to Chad, to help ‘fill the gap’ until theirs returns. Problem solved, right? Wrong. In order to legally fly a Ugandan-registered aircraft, a pilot must have a Ugandan license. That’s where I came in. I was asked to spend three weeks as a ‘relief pilot’ in Chad, where I got to do some very strategic and exciting flights to some very remote locations. I’ve been to many countries in the world, but this was certainly some of the most awe- inspiring, uninhabitable terrain that I’ve ever seen or flown over, anywhere.
