Pilatus PC-12 in air mercy service livery unloading relief supplies by hand on a rural grass airstrip
Relief · rural South Africa

When it stopped, we kept flying

Pandemic relief loads into communities with no usable road access, unloaded by hand onto grass.

Hygiene kits printed in isiZulu, flown into communities the road network had effectively cut off, and carried from the aircraft by hand. A PC-12 gets into strips a jet cannot, which is the entire reason it was the right aircraft that week.

This work generated no publicity and no testimonials. It is in the archive because it is the truest thing we do.
