The pilot's lounge relocated a bit to the south, while I spent some time doing volunteer flying in a Cessna 206 for LightHawk, the airborne conservation organization. LightHawk does most of its work in the U.S., but assists in efforts in Central America during the winter. My rotation was in the country of Belize. I've written about flying for conservation in the past and have nothing but praise for LightHawk and other groups that use aircraft to support ongoing research activity as we learn more about how to be good stewards of our natural resources.
