Flore del Norte is only a few miles north of our Base of Operations, Mayalan, in the Ixcan region of Quiché. We got a call to pick-up the man in this video who fell from the roof of a house (or a Coconut tree, depending on your Spanish). We suspected a spinal injury and were glad to help transport him to hospital. He was definitely in pain. A truck ride to Guatemala City would have been torturous.
The airstrip at Flore was recently renovated by the village, as a result of our encouragement, just for such emergencies. I flew over the village several times throwing leaflets out the window asking them to fix the airstrip - and it worked!
Please consider supporting Great Commission Air as our operations are funded mostly by donations from individuals (like you).
