The flight we did this week was to a tribal location where the missionaries are not currently living because they are all on furlough. We flew in to check on the condition of their hydro-electric power system and to fix the lighting in the tribal church building. It was a beautiful day to fly and the Lord gave us clear skies and calm winds which was a huge blessing because we were flying in without a weather report.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Garry Barkman, our chief pilot, did the flying there and I did the flying on the way home. Garry is showing me around and introducing me to each of our airstrips so that I don&#8217;t have to go in &#8220;cold-turkey&#8221; like he did when we first opened up the Mindanao flight program. I managed to get a video of the flight and while it isn&#8217;t the best video quality, I hope to get some better ones in the future. For now, this should give you an idea what it was like to land in this location.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"580\" height=\"360\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/N-KnxDTyGIo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6&amp;border=1\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"580\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/N-KnxDTyGIo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6&amp;border=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian received his license in the mail this week and was able to resume his checkout.
