Mission Aviation Group-Honduras, Cessna 206

Today's airplane vignette is the Mission Aviation Group (MAG) 206 from Honduras, Central America.

The airplane was flown up here last May for a major inspection and to take care of several "squawks." Squawk is the technical term pilots use to identify a problem and/or irritation with an airplane that needs repair. In the case of this 206, there were several squawks to address.

In the process o
f working through the inspection, which was anticipated to take four months, more and more squawks were discovered ultimately turning the major inspection into a full restoration. The airplane has been here for a year now and there's still more work to do. The photos will help you appreciate the depth of maintenance the guys are involved with in getting this airplane ready to return to missionary service.

Mike Dunkley is the Team Leader on this project and he can use your prayers as he leads Shawn and Chuck in putting this airplane back together.
