Annual Inspection of GCI's 310 is Completed

Tim has spent the past two weeks performing the annual inspection on Gospel Carrier International's Cessna 310. Assisted by Gary, one of our regular MMS volunteers, the annual inspection went smoothly and quickly. It's always encouraging to have a missionary aircraft fly in for maintenance and to return it to service in rapid fashion.

This afternoon, Gary and Tim washed the airplane as the finishing touch.

We're blessed to have Gary's mechanical assistance for several weeks in the spring of each year. Gary is a certificated A&P. Gary and his wife, Arlene, are retired and spend their time traveling between mission aviation agencies such as JAARS in North Carolina; MFI and Harvest Aviation in Florida, and MMS where they lend a hand as needed and as able.

Karen and I were blessed to host Gary and Arlene, and Tim and Michele for dinner earlier in the week.
