In September we will fill in for our pilot, Josh, and his wife, Candy, who are returning to the States until January. This is a fairly complicated task to coordinate with the rest of our leadership responsibilities. The best way we could come up with to make it work is for Brian to take a 25-day trip back to the Philippines before September to get things in order. If you\u2019ve ever wondered what kind of an itinerary Brian has when he travels, below is a glimpse of what he\u2019ll be doing and some ideas for how you can be praying. This itinerary means that Brian will be in a vehicle as the pilot, driver or passenger for over 130 hours in 25 days. Bailey and the kids will remain with family in CA. This is a real blessing that she can be surrounded by support while Brian is away.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Arrive in Philippines after ~40 hrs travel<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Go to Civil Aviation Authority offices and renew aviation medical certificate<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Schedule a check-ride and complete paperwork for Philippine pilot license renewal<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Meeting with field leadership<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Pack up tools and other household items that we will need while we live on Palawan<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Fly the airplane to get recurrent and operationally ready to fly again<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Meetings with leaders about future strategies<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Meet with teammates, Joel and Missy, to test a new financial software system for NTMA.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Setup a new flight tracking system for the airplane with Joel<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Do necessary repairs and maintenance on our vehicles so that they are ready for the next 6 months.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Go to the harbor and ship our belongings to our temporary home<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Meet with Josh and Candy regarding finances<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Meet with Josh and Candy regarding the ongoing airstrip project that is the result of the super typhoon Haiyan relief effort.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Setup a new flight tracking system for the airplane with Josh<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Fly with Josh into each airstrip on Palawan for a checkout &#8211; during the heart of rainy season so weather will be predictably\u00a0unpredictable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Take a check-ride with a Philippine check-pilot for pilot license renewal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Learn how and where Josh does basic things like paying bills, buying fuel, working with the supply buyer and hangar maintenance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Travel to Manila, again.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Meeting with field leadership<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Fly back to California (~40 hours travel time)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian is preparing to return to the Philippines, alone.
