Bite-sized Newsbits

• Tomorrow morning, Karen and I are driving Bat-Enkh to the FAA's District Office in Columbus to have his documentation and qualifications reviewed. From there we'll head over to the Ohio State University Flight Education Center where Bat will take the exam to receive his Inspection Authorization.

• Our house is rewired! What a joy to have light where we need it, plugs where we can access them, new switches where we can reach them, and everything grounded and up to code! Thank you Ben and Kathy for such wonderful and consciencious service over these past weeks! Ben found several areas of concern with the 80 year old wiring as he methodically worked through our house.

• I've spent the past two days focused on pulling the April issue of the MMS GroundCrew newsletter together. There's at least another day of work yet to go. I've selected and organized the photos, now I need to write the copy. This will be an exciting issue covering a wide range of events and project updates. Once I get this wrapped-up and off to our graphic designer, I hope to work on the next issue of our own newsletter, Coshocton Flyer.
  

• Work continues in the hangar as the guys push ahead with the GCI 172, the Moody 182, and the Honduran 206. The Cessna 337 project (overhaul both engines, annual inspection) for LAMP has been funded so that's going to work it's way into the production schedule once we get a 206 or two finished!

Scott uses a cutting wheel to trim aluminum sheet he's fabricating to make a leading edge repair on one of the wings for the Honduran 206.
