Working hard?

We’ve been in AZ for 6 months now.  Ben finished his in–service maintenance projects a couple of months ago.  Currently he’s waiting for his turn for flight checkouts.  It looks like that will start in a couple weeks. 

In the meantime, Ben’s been working on overhauling a diesel Cessna 182.  The maintenance team here is getting it ready to go to Senegal. 

This deisel airplane will save missionaries up to $300 per hour in fuel alone!  It’s been great to take part in getting it to the field.
