Flying Low Over Xalala
Great Commission Air has provided emergency medical air service to many villages in the Ixcan and surrounding areas. Xalala is one of those villages, situated along the Rio Negro. Emergency medical transportation from here is very difficult. This low pass reveals a number of problems with that airstrip at this time, including trees that need to be cut-back, animals on the airstrip, tall grass. We hope the villages will act quickly to address those issues. This week I will be picking-up a case of thin, yellow fliers that I will drop on villages like this so that they'll know we are back and here to help. The fliers also ask them to clean the airstrip and call me for more infomation!

Not being a pilot, it's hard to recognize what the issues are here that you mention - could you give us some pointers?
Thanks Catherine! I added more detail about the problems at Xalala in the post. I also fixed the incorrect vide on the "Flying the Rio Negro Pass" post. I think this blog is almost ready for prime time! How are you?
