Even though MMS is a small mission, the nature of our ministry necessitates an extremely high level of ongoing communication. Our weekly meeting provides the forum for an integrated approach between maintenance, production, training, and HR. It's a privilege to serve with such dedicated men committed to preparing missionary airplanes and missionary airplane mechanics for service around the world.
L to R: Bob, Director of Training; Terry, Production Manager; Tim, Director of Maintenance; and me, Director of Human Resources.With a break in the weather (sunny and 32 degrees), one of the missionaries we serve flew his Piper Aztec in this morning. With the next weather system predicted to arrive tonight and his airplane in need of its annual inspection, it was prudent for him to deliver it a little bit early. We've maintained his airplane for several years. You've probably seen pictures of it on earlier blogs. John brings his airplane in for inspection every January.
John Pfeifer's Piper Aztec on our ramp before being positioned in Hangar A. The Cessna 206 being restored for service in Brazil is very nearly completed. Lord willing the engine runs and taxi tests will be conducted next week prior to the airplane making its "return to service" flight, or RTS. The airplane looks rather impressive towering over everything in our hangar. I look forward to shooting some video of the engine runs, taxi tests and shake-down flights. Stay tuned...
