I had the opportunity to join Kalvin, the MAF's current pilot here in Chad for a flight to Ati, a town just over 200 miles to the east of N'Djamena.
A good thing about flying are the views....

A drawback of flying is there is often not much time on the ground at the destination before we have to turn round and go back. We spent 30 minutes on the ground at Ati unloading and reloading passengers and baggage and avoiding standing out in the sun for too long. Thankfully this is not the hottest time of year so current daytime temperatures only reach around 40 C (104 F).
