Ohilang, South Sudan

Simon had a "chance" meeting with a pilot from another organization on a stop he made in Northern Uganda.  Through some logistic somersaults it worked out for Simon to go and survey a potential site for a new airstrip in South Sudan because of this conversation.  This airstrip is available to use as the brush has been cleared.  This will serve missionaries and others in the community.   Below are some photos of this airstrip and Simon in conversation with some of the people involved.  Who says life is boring? :)  Not us!



And where is the airstrip exactly?  It is there and an access road.  What more do you need?

Simon in conversation and talking it all through with those concerned.  Who needs an office when there is shade under the wing of a plane.
