The Kodiak Returns To MMS

The Kodiak has returned to MMS! Last at Coshocton in July as part of their national promotional tour, Spokane Turbine Center (STC) brought Kodiak 0001 back to MMS to take advantage of our hangar facility and so that we could assist in performing the aircraft's required Phase Inspection. Three of our staff, Dennis, Ian, and Mike are working with the Kodiak's flight crew, Jeff and Ed, to complete the inspection by the end of the week. To see our earlier post of the Kodiak's visit in July, click here.

The Kodiak is the first airplane specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of repeated missionary flights into unimproved and remote landing strips. It combines a turbine engine, a large cargo capacity, and short take-off and land capabilities and is proving itself to be everything hoped for in a powerful and rugged workhorse of an airplane. It has been referred to as "the new missionary mule."

It's a blessing to be able to partner with STC in this way.

can position the aircraft in Hangar C.
