'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events Hoosier Solo in Lesotho...
[from Jason Thiemann, one of our Indy Christian Geeks now flying for MAF...]
Two weeks ago, I passed my first MAF flight review and received my Lesotho pilot’s license. Today, I had my first operational flight.
I spent the morning inspecting the engine of 7P-CMO. I was told that I might be able to fly today, depending on when the morning flight returned. I have to be back to Maseru by 3:30 and carry extra fuel, since I am new. I needed to get off the ground by 1pm if I was going to make it back in time.
At lunch time, I checked on the plane. Melvin was still in the mountains and estimating his return at 12:50. We would have to load our passengers, cargo, and refuel very quickly for it to work. I was a little anxious about my first solo flight in Lesotho, so I couldn’t eat half my lunch. I paced the hangar, going over all of my preparations in my head to make sure I’d be ready when the plane landed. I finally went to the bathroom and put on my pilot shirt. I’d worn it hundreds of times before...
