Photo Update from MMS

Thanks for your prayers. I had a great drive up to MMS Aviation. The car ran great, I was blessed by beautiful weather, traffic was very light with only one slowdown for construction, and it turned out to be another perfectly "pointless" drive (meaning I didn't receive any speeding tickets!). 

It's fun to be back in the hangar with everyone for a week. Here's a photo of "everyone".

Here's "The Crew" at MMS Aviation.

Here are some snapshots of some of the crew working on a project, a project yet to be started, and two projects near completion.

Current Project--Missions Wings Cessna 206; Rebuild and Repair

Sharee reassembles the components of a flap attach point.

Ben "drives" while Chuck "bucks" rivets securing new aluminum skin to the 206 airframe.

Jack pre-fits a flap rib he's fabricating that will save the operator $150 over purchasing it new.

Future Project

 A United Indian Mission Cessna 206 needing fuselage repairs.

Two Projects Near Completion

Dale and Josh prepare to crate a completed engine overhaul for Mission Aviation Fellowship.

Mercy Air's helicopter is ready to ship back to Africa after a complete restoration.

Lord willing I'll head south Saturday morning to start the new week back at my office in Graham, North Carolina.

Thank you for being so invested in preparing people and airplanes for worldwide missionary service!

Birds Flying In, Keith Driving Out

Here's a quick post prior to my driving up to MMS Aviation next week. I'll head up to Coshocton for meetings, reconnection with staff and apprentices, take photographs of the action and, on the way home, stop and buy a trunk-load of Pearl Valley Cheese.

Commute

Here's a map of my "commute" to Coshocton, OH. It's really not a bad drive. Good highway between here and there and, Lord willing, good weather. This is a pretty time to make the trip though spring won't be quite as far along in Coshocton County as it is down here in Alamance County.

Pearl Valley Cheese

And there's always the stop in Fresno, OH for Pearl Valley Cheese on the way home!

Third generation, family owned manufacturer of natural, award winning cheese!

Ya can't go wrong with Pearl Valley.
