David & Gertjan Install Flaps on the Chad 206

Over the last two days I've shared video clips of some of the missionary airplanes currently at our facility for maintenance, modification, and/or repair. Today's clip is of David & Gertjan installing one of the flaps on the Cessna 206 project for Mission Aviation Fellowship-Chad, Africa. This has been an extensive restoration project as reflected in the April 2008 GroundCrew, and the nearby slide show. I know "Team Coates" will appreciate your prayers as they work to return this airplane to mission service.

David is from Peru, Gertjan is from The Netherlands. Dale Coates, their Team Leader, is a naturalized US citizen originally from Zimbabwe. It may be hard to believe, but MMS Aviation is something of an international crossroads located in rural, east central Ohio.

Here's the video clip!
