We had just landed in Oljoro, not on any map, cloudy but dry weather. All at once the clouds let go all their contents. The airstrip got flooded within 5 minutes.
the airstrip…
at least somebody else got happy with that weather. I was happy too just for the experience. We’d have to take off at some point…
It didn’t look too good but then the Cessna 206 is such a bush beast…
and off we went, a few splashes here and there on the run when one can feel the airplane slowing down but here is the picture to prove we got airborne. The strip is that diagonal from top left to low right. Interestingly enough, seeing this amount of flooding would keep me away from landing. I couldn’t wait to see next airstrip.
here is it, Olpirikata, 10 miles away till not on any map sand a total different landscape. We didn’t land, this is soft ground and we’ve had 2 propeller strikes here in the past! So that silver ribbon doesn’t bode well.
