Angel Flight

When I was in Ecuador a couple of weeks ago and flying from Quito to the Amazon Basin, we taxied past the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) hangar at the Quito airport. MAF is a great organization that operates all over the world flying people and supplies to/from remote missions. It exists to support other Christian missions and many a missionary literally owes their life to a medevac flight by MAF to get them to a major city hospital and medical help.

The picture shows the new Quest Kodiak that was developed with MAF input. Simply put, it is the best light aircraft flying in the world today. It is built like a truck and can haul 3,500 lbs. of cargo. It's 750 hp Pratt & Whitney turboprop engine is designed to be extremely reliable and get heavy loads in and out of small fields. If I were a young pilot today, this is the plane that I would want to fly and the organization that I would want to fly it for.

I have included a link to MAF's website. The end of the year is coming up and if you are going to be making some year end charitable gifts, you might consider MAF. Good folks; great work!
