That seems to be the extent of my week with a little bit of paperwork thrown in for fun. On Monday I started the week by completing our month end paperwork, this is an all day process and you spend most of the day correcting errors here and there. For June we flew over 150 hours in Lesotho with only four airplanes and three pilots for the whole month. I was able to fly a little over 50 hours for the month. Our days our busy with two or three airplanes flying every day. So on days that we fly, we average between 3.5 to 5 hours of flying with anywhere from 8 to 15 landings in a day. This can make for a very tired pilot by the end of the day. In between landings we are fueling, unloading, loading, preparing passengers and numerous other tasks that have to be completed, usually getting back to the airport just in time to go home.
This is a picture of the clouds last week over Lesotho. Unfortunately I couldn't find any holes to get down to the airstrip, so we ended up going back to Maseru. It was incredible view flying over the snow and the clouds.
In Maseru there were no clouds but they started right at the mountains and continued as far as the eyes could see.
This is a picture of Fran landing just a few hours after the last pictures were taken.
