Project Report

Honduran 206
While work continues on the Honduran 206, it's still slow going. One staff member was pulled from the project to oversee the phase inspections on Gospel Carrier International's (GCI) King Air 200 which arrived today. Mike, Scott G., Josh, and Chuck continue to work on the project.
Here's Josh and the wing he's repairing.

GCI King Air 200

Ian, Scott L., Gertjan, and Tim started the phase inspection process with GCI's King Air. The airplane should be here for two weeks or so.

Here's the King Air being prepared for positioning inside Hangar C.

Chad 206

The Chad 206 project is very near completion. The tip tank installations are complete and the FAA's inspection of the aircraft is currently scheduled for October 6th. Dale, David M., and Paul will assist with the King Air inspection as able.

Here's the 206 outside of Hangar A. David M. is pouring avgas into the tip tanks to check for leaks.

Human Resources

I responded to emails today, shot photos for the project photo files, opened communication with an A&P interested in volunteering with us, followed up with some prospective candidates, edited two newsletters, led a tour, met for several hours with Bob (Training Manager) and Tim (Production Manager), and handled the usual slew of phone calls.

Tuesday and Wednesday I'll be preparing for the group seminar I'm to lead on Thursday.

At Home

We're enjoying perfect weather, the dogs are fine and Karen's started her first "real" quilt. Quilting is part of the culture out here. You can't really "be" from here unless you quilt. So, in the name of cultural adaptation and relational development, Karen's embarked on this new venture. She's pretty handy. That's Pretty AND Handy. All this and Salsa too? Wahoo!
