While we were in Antigua, Guatemala, following the annual Intermissions Conference, we received a phone call from the clinic in Playa Grande. A pick-up full of passengers had overturned and there were 15 injured passengers, who were riding in back. One patient was particularly delicate and they asked us to come and take him in our Cessna Skymaster to Coban where there is a regional hospital. The other patients had already been sent to Coban in various cars and trucks, a tough four-hour drive.
Playa Grande is 90 nm north of Guatemala City. We arrived there around 11:00 am, two hours after the accident. We landed in Coban with this patient before any of the others, after a smooth 1/2 hour trip by air. His life may have been saved because of the flight.
