Flying in Sumatra

Words like 'shock' and 'disbelief' are probably overused as we hear news of the tsunami in Asia last week. I'm sure I have no idea of the proportions of this disaster. MAF is sending over some staff, who will work with donated equipment to set up satellite internet connections for the relief staff in Sumatra. I've volunteered to help if needed, but that, if it does happen, won't be until at least the end of January. MAF also has at least two planes flying on the island of Sumatra--a Cessna 206 and a Cessna Caravan. Those two planes will soon be joined by a amphibian Beaver which will be on loan from MAF-Europe. News of the operation is available at the MAF-US web site, including field updates and photos.
