Hello everybody. As you probably can tell from the picture, I went flying today with Gerrit. He was doing a charter flight to Fort Portal (about 1 hour flight due west) and there was an extra seat available. There is some beautiful scenery out in that section of the country. The Rwenzori Mountains start close to the town. This picture, however, is of Kajjensi. This is where MAF has their airstrip. I thought this picture would be helpful for you to see a typical Ugandan town. There is one paved road through town and the rest of the roads are dirt. The buildings are kind of scattered around, so it looks like there is not much organization to the city. Anyway, on the way home, Gerrit decided to try some steep turns because there weren't any passengers (besides me and the co-pilot). He did a 60 degree bank, which puts 2 g's of force on your body. I tried to lift my arm and it was quite difficult. Then he put a pen on the dashboard and went into a steep climb and right away went into a steep descent. It was pretty cool because we got lifted off of our seats and the pen was "floating" in the air. Today I also made chicken noodle soup for tomorrow. It tastes great. So I hope you have a wonderful Saturday.
