I was present during this shoot as an english speaking interviewer for a swiss film team in Sudan.
The airport is on the border of Kenya and Sudan at a U.N. outpost called Lokichoggio. It was the first time (and the last, I hope) I had an AK-47 assault rifle stuck to my head for taking photos of a woman building her roof.
From Lokichoggio, food drops and aide fly to distribution sites in the Sudan war zone.
We spent two weeks in the war zone of Sudan filming and interviewing members of the Medair ONG hospital unit that had eariler been bombed from the River Nile, 20 miles south by the southern faction.
We were able to spend a full day with these pilots and the aircraft, one of the most enjoyable days of our voyage.
Note, the point in this video where the plane flies overhead... sent us and the cameras rolling!!! What a fun adventure.
