Back in Shell again.

Back in Shell again. Flew home on the MAF shuttle flight with Henry Orellana. He's the only Ecuadorian pilot who flies with MAF here. He's actually a member of Alas de Socorro Ecuador, the national counterpart to MAF. (Alas de Socorro means 'Wings of Help' in Spanish.) It was a cloudy and rainy day over much of Ecuador, and we flew through the clouds up to 15,000 feet to get home. By the time we arrived over Shell we were still up at 10,000 feet and it took us a few minutes to circle down and land.

It was good to get home again and be with the family. I was home in time for lunch. Went back to the office and managed to check a few things off of my to-do list. After work the boys and I went back over to the hanger and they got their first ride on the go-kart we are building. We still need a gas pedal and seat, but we improvised to get a ride out of it.
