Volunteers at MMS

While volunteers in the MMS hangar aren't unusual, this summer is a bit different in that we have a young lady completing a two month internship with us. Emily is in the Aeronautical Science program at LeTourneau University. Her long-term goal is to serve in mission aviation.

In January, Emily volunteered at MMS as part of a LeTourneau missions team. During her work that week she designed and laid out cardboard patterns to assist with repairs on some amphibious floats for a missionary airplane in Canada.

She enjoyed her visit so much she contacted me shortly after to see what other service opportunities there might be for her this summer. Consequently we developed an internship program for her that will last through June and July. A real bonus for her was to return to see the fruits of her labor and to actually use the jig she had designed.
