In West Africa light aviation is still massively under-utilised, yet in great need.  So, with the harmattan dust restricting our flight movements, and with Detective Erin Nolan from the NYPD on a visit, we took to the road to check out the airfields we hoped to 'stimulate' either back to use or to improve.  We scored 2/3 and get some very interesting tales to tell.

 

To find out more about these strips and the way we go about raising aviation awareness in the villages of West Africa you can read our latest blog at http://www.medicineonthemove.org/blog.html 

 

Now, we just need to get our 801 completed.... put it on floats.... and then build two more!
