A HAPPY PILOT PICKS UP HIS PLANE


We often feature pictures of airplanes under repair, but thought you might like to see what we see when a pilot picks up his airplane. This Cessna 206 went through 3 years of repair and restoration. It was especially "outfitted" for the conditions that will be encountered as it serves missionaries and nationals in Honduras. When George (the pilot) picked up his airplane a few weeks ago he was so excited to see what had once been a worn out airplane now in "like new" condition. Why would he fly from Honduras to Coshocton, OH to have the work done on this airplane? MMS does not charge Christian ministries for our labor, saving almost $100,000 on this project alone (while training airplane mechanics for future overseas mission assignments).

Final "lift off" as the Cessna 206 begins it's journey back to Honduras.
