SAVANNAH: 3:02 Launch

The helipad was only used for dignitaries, safaris or medical emergencies, of which there were never more than a couple a month, so the grassy patch with its giant white H was in pristine condition.

Diana had only ever flown the two hundred miles to Nairobi a couple of times by chopper, most recently when a young woman was bitten by a black mamba while fishing along one of the rivers leading into Lake Victoria. The view during that flight had been breathtaking, flying high above the grassy plains with the snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro in the distance. Her patient had been quite calm and lucid so there wasn't much to do other than sit back and enjoy the scenery. The return flight had been in the early evening, with a full moon lighting the way. Diana was able to sit up front on the return, chatting with the pilot over the intercom headset. She loved the wrap-around view from the bubble canopy.
