Speaking of Tomatoes and Missionary Airplanes

 The last week of June/beginning of July, I was back up at MMS Aviation for a Candidate Evaluation. More on that in our upcoming SUMMER NEWSLETTER! Be watching for it...👀

A slice of road-life between Coshocton, Ohio and Graham, North Carolina. 

It is no surprise there were missionary airplanes at our hangar facility when I arrived. The surprise, even after 25 years of service, is the depth and breadth of the aircraft maintenance performed by our Apprentice and Staff mechanics. The world of missionary aviation can be found in our hangars.

Hangar A, B, and C are full. It's a simple as that. Here's a rundown of what is hangar A, from left to right below: a Cessna 206 for service in Alaska, a G8 Airvan for service in Haiti, and a Cessna 206 for ministry in Mexico. The white oblong looking thing in the lower right corner is the downside of belly cargo pod for the nearby 206. There are actually TWO belly pods in this photo. The other one is right side up and looks something like a little boat.

A view of Hangar A from the mezzanine level. It's so nice to have the hangar doors open.

Major progress on an aircraft restoration can appear less than exciting to untrained eyes, but our avionics team has nearly finished the repair and rewire of this panel inside the G8 Airvan.

Senior Apprentice Bryan Martin receives a wisdom delivery from long-term Staff mechanic, Mike Dunkley. They are discussing the engine of a missionary airplane being repaired for service in Canada. Actually, the Cessna 206 in the background is also slated for Canadian missionary service.

And Did I Mention Tomatoes?

Not at MMS, of course. There are lots of things you can find at MMS, but a Salsa Garden isn't yet one of them. The tomatoes are back in Graham, North Carolina on the south side of our humble missionary abode. And its a great year for tomatoes so it should be a great year for Karen's Side-street Salsa!

We don't fry them green...we slice and dice them once they're RED! Here's salsa on the hoof!

And A Dog to Entertain in All Our Humanness

We currently have the pleasure of dog sitting our friends' dog while they are out of state. This is Niner. Niner has written a short article about her stay with us on page 2 of our next, upcoming, soon to be released, Blockbuster Summer Newsletter. Did I say be watching for it? 👀

Here's "Niner" patiently waiting for us to continue entertaining her.

Thank YOU for being such a large part of transforming lives and shaping eternity through your partnership with us in missionary aviation! Without someone to send, no one can go! Thanks for being part of the team at MMS Aviation.
