Fellowship) to fly these 6 guests from Gemena to Kinshasa this past Thursday. \u00a0And to bring up a new team of 7 guests for PCP. \u00a0Well, besides a terrible rain storm in Kinshasa Thursday a problem also developed with the plane they were to fly. \u00a0That meant that the flight Thursday had to be postponed until Friday when MAF would send a different plane. \u00a0It also meant that the rest of Thursday these 6 were trying to determine the options for rebooking their flights back to the US. \u00a04 of them had arrived on Air France and 2 were on Brussels\/United. \u00a0The Brussels airport bombing and subsequent closing meant that rebooking got a bit more complicated. \u00a0After hours working on options with different agents they all got rebooked out for Friday night.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3372\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a

ended up having to fuel the plane here. \u00a0Doing this the return stop for fuel and allowed them to arrive in Kinshasa in time for their evening flights.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3373\"
