A Little Fuel

I had heard on Wednesday that we were to get 2000 gallons of avgas on Thursday. But, as you come to expect around here, it didn't happen. The truck did show up today, and we received 2000 gallons. That's a start, but we need more, and soon. We were completely shut down on Wednesday, with no flights going on. When I was up at the south repeater site yesterday, I heard someone in the jungle talking to the runway doctor at our hangar. They were asking for an emergency flight for someone, and she was explaining that MAF couldn't fly, as they had no fuel. That's hard to hear. Please pray that the avgas supply situation in Ecuador will improve quickly.
