I haven't given you many flight stories since we returned from furlough. This can be a good sign as it means there have been no dramas and things have gone relatively smoothly...Praise the Lord!!!
However, I do have one from you that I just heard from Simon the other day. He had dropped off some passengers in Lira, Northern Uganda and was getting the plane ready for take off to go to his next destination. As the plane was travelling down the airstrip a monitor lizard decided to cross at exactly the same time. The timing of the plane and the lizard couldn't have been better (well not for the lizard) as Simon ran over it with the plane. The way Simon described it was like going over a speed bump. Thankfully the plane suffered no damage and he was able to take off with no problems. The monitor lizard, however, was not so fortunate.
I don't know the size of the lizard in question but Simon said when he drove back from Entebbe one afternoon he saw something in the distance ambling across the road. At first he thought it was a crocodile and then realised it was a monitor lizard. This gives you a bit of an idea on how big they can get. Big enough for me!!!!!
