Ferry flight update

Just a quick note to say thanks to all who prayed. I made it back in only 6.5 hrs, with tail winds and good weather the whole way home. Just after 1st light I headed off with the rising sun behind me. I avoided 3-4 hot air ballons in the area that where watching the sunrise, made my way over the mountains, across the barren coastal flats, around the Gulf of Carpentaria, and then followed the coast home.

The C206 that I was flying from Mareeba (Cairns) to Gove, NT.

Passing over the last of the mountains and heading towards the coastal flatlands area

After around 6 hrs and 2 fuel stops, I was back in familiar territory. Banyala community below means only 35 mins to go

Cheers to all who have been praying & supporting me not just for the ferry flight but also in the work here with MAF

Ferry flight

Well with the wonders of modern technology, I can do an update whilst sitting in a hanger waiting for my plane to be finished. I'm in Mareeba (near Cairns) at the moment at the MAF hanger. My 206 will hopefully be finished this afternoon and ready for a first light departure tomorrow morning (Sunday).

There have been a few last minute issues, some long hours worked, and a long 8 hr flight ahead of me. Please pray for wisdom in decision making, safety in flight, and an uneventful trip home.

Thanks,
Nev
