On the Street Where I Live: The Prequel

This is such a common sight on the street where I live that I almost
forgot about it. In fact, I couldn't find a good picture of the plane
in my files. This is a picture my sister Suzy took when they visited
us last Christmas. Our house is right on the airstrip, and the trail
runs alongside the strip. The plane lands in our front yard. We see
it at least once every two or three weeks. Sometimes we'll go a month
between flights. Other times, if a short-term team is visiting us,
the plane may land ten times in a week, shuttling team members and
supplies in and out. The Palawanos love to watch the plane land and
take off, especially the kids. If it lands when school isn't in
session, a crowd of kids will come tearing over to our house to hang
out and watch the action.
