While I was spending 5 hours in Senior Management Team meetings today, downstairs in Hangar B the repairs were underway on the Honduras 206. This plane was brought to MMS for a 1,000 hour inspection. Often we find a lot of corrosion in airplanes that are often used for flights over the ocean. Once the inspection began, it became clear this airplane needed much more work done than anticipated. While this situation can become very frustrating (for our MMS work schedule and the owner who wants his plane back in service as soon as possible), the plane is providing valuable training to MMS apprentices and interns as it is now being rebuilt for mission service in Honduras. Each missionary at MMS raises their own financial support team, allowing us to provide free labor for all missionary airplane repairs. Thursday, July 3, 2008
