The inaugural celebration of the Chad-Cameroon Oil Development and Pipeline Project commemorated the opening of a 1000 kilometer underground pipeline from landlocked Chad to the Cameroon coast. Kome, the origin point of the pipeline, had neither the airstrip length or security needed to accommodate the event and camera set up. Rock-it Cargo staff worked with the local authorities to arrange customs clearance in N'djamena rather than Kome, and did two round trips from N'djamena to lighten each load enough to allow the plane to land and take off on a short runway.
