Dear Praying Friends,

It is time again for a wing inspection on a DC-3 operated by Missionary Flights International. I have been in their hangar in Ft Pierce, Florida with Scott Lazaros this week. The inspection involves removal of the outer section of the wing which is held on by 328 bolts and then measuring the fit to the center section wing. We had a bit of a delay getting started but we have been able to accomplish the inspection and find several things that need attention. We will be here until the end of Wednesday and need several parts before then. Believe it or not there are still parts available for these 65+ year old airplanes and half of the fun is finding who has them. Thanks to the internet we are able to do a search and have some phone numbers to call.

Pray for safety and efficient use of time while we work on this project and then travel home by Delta Airlines on Thursday.
