The emergency flight ended running late in part due to poor communications on the hf or 'ham' radio band. Additionally, interference from unauthorized radio operators and even amateur DJ's were once again causing interference on the designated medical frequency.
The aircraft was subsequently forced to wait on the ground in Aishalton as a private vehicle was mobilized to bring the client to the airstrip.
Special thanks to all the public spirited community volunteers in Lethem who helped provide additional lighting in this extra-ordinary medical evacuation flight.
Pictured here is the critical infant being loaded onto the waiting aircraft at Aishalton.
