Bob Neff, Executive Coach, and MMS Aviation

Thursday morning MMS was privileged to be part of a national tour company's "mystery tour" of Coshocton and the surrounding area. A mystery tour is where the passengers sign up without knowing where or what the specific stops will be.

The trip was organized by Bob Neff Tours with transportation provided by Executive Coach of Lancaster, PA. Dwight and I greeted the 53 visitors outside the hangar at about 10:30 and split the group in two. The tour had just come from a visit to international award-winning Pearl Valley Cheese just down the road. Dwight took his group and started on the hangar floor. I took my group upstairs and started in the administrative area. Eventually we finished in Hangar C and Dwight's group finished upstairs.

It was a fun, attentive group. I always like tours because I have a captive audience for at least 45 minutes. I get to talk, they get to listen. Does it get any better than that? Seriously, it's really nice working with companies like Bob Neff and Executive coach because they're both Christian owned and seek to glorify God through their efforts in the business world.

An additional blessing was having Elvin McMichael as the coach driver. Elvin is Karen's father-in-law through her deceased husband, Darrel. It was great to see Elvin again and Tanner just may spend time tomorrow blogging about Elvin's visit to our home.

Here are some pictures from the tour.

Here I am describing the finer aspects of the Cessna 206 as a missionary workhorse.

Here's my group interacting with the maintenance team on the Chad 206 project. I'm the guy in the lower right hand corner leaning on the elevated platform directly in front of the gentleman in the white shirt.

There goes Elvin and all the mystery tour aficionados as they leave MMS heading into Coshocton for their next unknown stop (Serenity Tea House) for lunch and then on to Annin Flag (America's oldest and largest flag company).

There really is a lot to see and do in Coshocton!

Thank you Bob Neff (and thank you Executive Coach) for including MMS as part of your tour! We enjoyed the group and hope you return real soon.
