Brian and Bailey Pruett Serving in the Philippines with Aviation During an extremely busy flight schedule we received word that two patients were critically ill in the Banwaon tribe. This is the video of my flight to take one of the patients to the hospital. It’s a pretty typical flight during this time of year and without a doubt, I feel relief when I get to do the easy part of the flight…land the airplane. Negotiating weather is far and away the most difficult part of flying here as you can see from the video. If you want to read the story behind this flight you can read the article Here.

PDF Three Little Airstrips
Posted by Brian and Bailey Pruett on Sunday, December 19th, 2010This post is for all the pilots and dreamers who enjoy this kind of stuff. I filmed some landings and takeoffs at three of our more interesting airstrips. We are getting into rainy season now and I am learning that these airstrips are completely different when wet. It’s not only the slippery surface that’s a challenge, but all the rainy weather and low clouds make for a challenging trip as well.

New Year in Manila
Posted by Brian and Bailey Pruett on Saturday, January 2nd, 2010I Don’t know how to describe the celebration here, but this video might help. Make sure your sound is turned on to grasp the sheer quantity of explosions that welcomed the new year.
Many superstitions surround the coming of the new year, and fireworks and noise are believed to keep the bad spirits away so they will not bring bad luck to people in the new year. While many do fireworks just for fun, it is still a good “multimedia” reminder that behind the facade of happiness lies a need for the Savior and freedom from bondage to empty traditions and superstitions.
Just like their fireworks, misplaced hopes and beliefs soon go out with a bang and need something else to fill the void. Please pray for us and the missionaries here who are working hard to bring knowledge of a Savior so that the people might drink of the living water and never thirst again!
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14
Motorcycles And Idiots

A very non-extreme motorcycle video of us posing as guys who actually know how to ride motorcycles! Mine is the white XR400 with the low flying fat guy in the black helmet.
I came across this video in my collection and it reminded me of the fun times we had in training “learning to ride dirtbikes so we would be safer riding on the field.” It seemed a lot easier to talk our wives into it if we played the safety card-so we did. I don’t how any of us thought it was a good idea to combine the words “dirtbikes” and “safety” into the same sentence but we did.
First Kodiak Delivered!
Posted by Brian and Bailey Pruett on Friday, January 9th, 2009
This week in Waxhaw, North Carolina Kodiak number 8 touched down at the JAARS headquarters. It will spend some time there getting prepared for shipping and delivery to its final destination overseas. It will then be put into service to help speed the process of Bible translation for Wyclif Bible Translators. This is the first delivery of a Kodiak for missionaries. (more…)
