What are some of the reasons why must you fly? You have to travel great distances and do not have hours to travel. Consider a trip from Indianapolis (Indiana) to Washington, DC.
By car, it takes just over 10 hours to drive. By a jet airlines, it takes one and an half hours. By air is about 5 times as faster.
In Congo, flying is about 100 times faster. It takes less than 3 hours to fly. To drive from Kinshasa to Kananga would take a minimum of a week. But it probably takes 2-3 weeks.
In Congo, most everything is magnified out of proportion. Child mortality is off the charts. Maternal mortality is off the charts. Illiteracy is off the charts. The list is endless.
