Apr-Jul: I'll be in the South Pacific.
To build a better airplane
In a comment on yesterday’s post about our planes and pilots, Corey asked about a plane called the Kodiak and about fuel for the Cessna 206s that we currently use.
Avgas, the fuel for 206s, is expensive and difficult to obtain, which means that our travel costs are high. And, the 206s are limited in space and load-carrying ability, as I mentioned before. (For that reason, I left clothing, batteries, toiletries, and other things behind forever in Wewak on Tuesday.)
The new Kodiak aircraft are designed to overcome some of these limitations and are intended specifically for mission aviation. We’ll be getting Kodiaks here in PNG soon.
To find out more about the aircraft — and to contribute toward the cost of purchasing them — visit the Kodiak Project: Keep ‘em Flying!

Cool. I am looking forward to the day when I get back to PNG and fly in them to different people groups. Thanks for the update. God Bless.

Hey, Brenton is working at Quest as an engineer. There are like 5 or 6 LU grads that work there. I am looking forward to the day that the Kodiak gets Type Certification. Hopefully should be sometime early next year. We can all pray.
Isn’t it awesome to be a part of something bigger than yourself?
