The first medevac flight has taken place - evacuating a young child to Cape Town.

The plane was a Falcon 20 out of Lanseria via Walvis Bay, and it landed on Runway 02. A picture on the "What the Saints did next" blog shows the aircraft just coming over the fence (yes you can see it on the first step of the Dry Gut fill), with the windsock looking like the wind was pretty much straight across. Pilot evidently reported no particular problems with the approach/landing.
