Missionary Aviation: This is Why We Do It

The Mission Aviation Fellowship blog has a short post on a medical evacuation by float plane in Borneo:

After flying over four hours in the middle of Borneo navigating low rivers, reverse currents, boaters, swimmers, logs, docks, and shooting eight landings, this is why we do it…for that one flight that makes all the others seem unimportant.

MAF pilot Sean Cannon evacuated an 18-year-old girl with heart problems, turning a potentially 8-hour cross-country trip into a smooth 40 minute flight.

You can be His hands and feet in whatever situation you are; as a pilot, the direct and immediate impact of being His hands and feet can be pretty amazing.
