In a ground-breaking humanitarian action triggered by a forecast of flood risk, the Uganda Red Cross (URCS) distributed just under 5,000 preparedness items to communities in Kapelebyong sub-county, some 300 km north-east of the capital, Kampala, in November 2015. The non-food items (NFI) were procured under ‘forecast-based financing’ with the support of the German government through the German Red Cross. The URCS mobilized the supplies as soon as a predetermined threshold of forecast risk was crossed a day ahead of the operation. “One of the disaster effects we are targeting is waterborne disease,” said Irene Amuron, URCS Disaster Risk Reduction Manager, who led the operation. Local Acting Chief Administration Officer Paul Edotu had indicated that dysentery existed in the area, and the authorities were anxious to prevent it. Amuron added: “The teams have distributed two jerrycans, two bars of soap, and a month’s supply of water purification tablets to 370 households in the villages of Okoboi, Omatai, Apedu and Akulonyo,” all initially trucked from Kampala. “The Uganda Red Cross are immediate responders in times of disaster,” said URCS Secretary General Robert Kwesiga. “By using forecasts in we are now intervening even earlier, before receiving reports of disasters. With such a timely disbursal, we hope to avoid potential catastrophe before it even happens, supporting people to continue working and going to school.” (Photo: Denis Onyodi/URCS-Climate Centre)
A fractional-operated Learjet 60 pops open its thrust reversers and spoilers on its landing rollout at KADS. The Lear 60 made its first flight in 1990 as a refinement of the earlier Learjet 55 which was the first Learjet to feature winglets. The upturned winglets in the Learjet 55 got it the name Longhorn which also referred to the wing. The Learjet 60 added a whole host if aerodynamic refinements like the curved trailing edge of the winglet to minimize interference of the wing with the benefits of the winglet. Learjet called this their "ogive winglet" and variations of this theme can also be seen on other aircraft from Bombardier (Learjet's owner) like the CRJ series and the Challenger 300. The two delta fins under the tail were new to the Learjet 60 as well. Despite all the changes, the Learjet 60 still bears many of Bill Lear's design work features. The upcoming Learjet 85 will have an all new wing and while it will have Learjet features, it's pretty much a fresh break from Bill Lear's legacy.

Showing off its relatively new paint, this aircraft formerly used the Boeing 787 rollout colors.
Home region's Estate time (about 10:50 AM SLT) after the Environmental Enhancement Project rollout... looks a bit different now than what it used to
The Airliner.net crowd is right -- the nose looks a lot like a Caravelle's. Not that it is a bad thing. I do wish they had kept the shark tail fin.
