Honduran 206 Update

Work continues on the Honduran 206. With the wings getting closer to completion, Mike has finished tidying up all the wires and cables behind the control panel, Scott has completed fabrication of the floor panels and is riveting them in place, Ian is back fabricating one of the elevators, and the windscreen was set in place today.

Bob and Mike install the windscreen.

Scott rivets the rear floor panel in place.

My day was spent recruiting, working on my director's report, taking photos of the work in the hangar, responding to emails and directing phone traffic, and starting to type up the minutes from last week's staff meeting. Lord willing, I'll have those finished tomorrow.

Friday I'm scheduled to spend the morning with a mission-interested A&P mechanic who works in the Dayton area. He's driving up to see the facility, learn more about what we do, and discuss what opportunities there may be for him to volunteer.

Next week I'll be focused on drafting Citizenship and Immigration Services paperwork for two of our apprentices. One set of papers for an apprentice from Holland who is already here and needs to extend his status and the other for an approved candidate from the UK whom we expect to arrive in January.

Karen will be in the shop tomorrow and Friday.

It was another 28 degree bike ride this morning! We hope you're having a great week.
