After a morning of giving horse riding lessons, a trip to the post office to mail out newsletters, a trip to the bank to cash a check for MMS, a stop off at Wendy's for an ice tea to keep me refreshed, I headed for the MMS hangar where the new Kodiak airplane was receiving an inspection by Mike, Ian and Dennis (that's Dennis checking the rigging in the wings). This is the airplane I mentionned last week (when Dennis had to get a drug test to work on this plane). This is the newest in missionary airplanes. It has a PT6A turbine engine, making it feasible for countries where Av-Gas in no longer available or cost prohibitive. It is a 10-passenger airplane or can be used to carry cargo instead. There is already a "waiting line" as these airplanes are being produced. It is quite an opportunity for us to be involved in the inspection on this particular airplane, building experience in our hangar to serve future, as well as current, mission needs.Tuesday, August 26, 2008
