Vacation's Over

It was back to the hangar yesterday morning and it's taken Monday and Tuesday for me to get back into the swing of things. Lord willing, I'll be back up to full-speed and all caught up tomorrow just in time to enjoy the long Thanksgiving weekend.

But while we were on vacation MMS was still busy preparing people and planes for worldwide mission service. All our regular readers are aware of the push to get the Honduran 206 completed. Well, that's pretty much on hold now due to a lack of funds. Consequently, all the manpower (Mike, Ian, Scott, Paul, David, Josh, Gertjan, and Chuck) has shifted over to the Cessna 182 restoration for Moody Aviation.

Chuck pre-fits the rudder pedal assembly inside the fuselage.
That's Scott in the lower left corner installing the nose gear.

Gertjan bucks while David drives a rivet into one of the flaps.

Brian (a visiting MMS grad) works with Ian
to repair the horizontal stabilizer.

As you can tell, there's still a substantial amount of work left to accomplish on this project too.

Brian, Terah, and their three children finished MMS a little over a year ago and now serve with Missionary Flights International, in Ft. Pierce, Florida. They're up for a visit over Thanksgiving. It's great to have Brian back helping in hangar and to have Terah, Evan, Luke, and Sierra back in the neighborhood for a week.
