We Are Alive And Well

Greetings from Coshocton! The past couple weeks have been rather crazy with ministry commitments, producing and mailing our latest personal newsletter, Thanksgiving, and just keeping up with daily life.

Be that as it may, Karen and I are doing well. This afternoon we're headed into Zanesville to pick up the December issue of MMS's GroundCrew newsletter from the print shop. Since that takes us all the way into "town" we'll probably do some Christmas shopping and maybe even have a meal out (if you call the Sam's Club hot dog combo a "meal out").

Speaking of newsletters, Lord willing, I'll have the electronic version of our newsletter sent out and posted here before too much longer.

While life at 368 McClain may not be all that noteworthy right now, there's plenty of excitement in the hangar as the three active mission projects move ahead.


Brazilian 206

Rivets of all shapes and sizes continue to be driven in the Brazilian 206 in preparation for painting the fuselage.

Paul drives rivets to secure the rain gutter he'd just fabricated. Josh bucks from inside.

Honduran 206
The Honduran 206 continues to creep toward completion. Final steps are being taken to clean and "close-up" various aspects of the project!

Andy vacuums beneath the floor panels of the 206 before securing the access plates in place and "closing-up" the floor.

Canadian 337
The airframe repairs and engine overhauls continue simultaneously on the Canadian 337.

Scott and Dale double-check critical data prior to joining the engine case halves for the front engine of the 337.
