A New Arrival


Qwest Kodiak, originally uploaded by Cielo Azul Images.
 
The MAF program in Sentani, Papua, Indonesia welcomed a new addition to it's fleet this week.  The Qwest Kodiak is a revolutionary new bush aircraft that will play a huge role in how mission aviation develops in the future.


Checking out the Kodiak!, originally uploaded by Cielo Azul Images.

While we were at MAF HQ back in October, the airplane seen in both pictures, N58NH, was waiting for the weather to become favorable in order to make the long flight to Indonesia.  Just a few weeks ago, after waiting for months, N58NH left from Idaho to Alaska, and then south over the Pacific Ocean en route to Indonesia.  While we are still waiting for our base assignment in Indonesia, it is possible that N58NH and I might meet up again!
