Various...

  • We canceled all of our flights today due to weather. By the time it improved in the afternoon, it was too late to do a whole lot.
  • I did go on a short local training flight with our instructor. They want to get me approved to fly in instrument conditions, which will be really nice. I always write about the bad weather we have. It will really help to be able to fly through some of it from time to time.
  • We did my training flight in Alas 10. It was my first flight in it since all the major upgrades. It was fun to fly, and noticeably "spunkier."
  • Please continue joining us in prayer about our air ambulance flying. I reported a few weeks ago that our contract was signed, but we are yet to receive payment for outstanding flights. The bill it getting to be about half the price of a new Cessna, therefore we can't do anymore flights until payment is received. The decision to say no to people in need everyday is beginning to take it's toll on all of us. We feel like we have our hands tied in this situation, so we ask you to join us on your knees to ask our Father for a solution.
  • Alas 11 is thoroughly torn apart now for it's makeover. As you can see in the pic below, the new engine is mounted, the belly pod is off, the landing gear are off for 1000 hour inspection (after approx. 3000 landings), and the inside of the cockpit it totally gutted for new radios.
