Update on the Airplane

It's been almost two weeks since the emergency landing. The airplane continues to reside in an old airplane hangar about 100 yards from the accident site. We're waiting for a rep from our insurance company to come and make their evaluation. From there, we'll start to formulate a plan. Here are a couple ideas brewing at the moment:

A) Put aircraft in container; move it to Libreville international airport; do repairs there with a visiting team from the US; find a loaner aircraft to use in the meantime.

B) Put aircraft in container; move it to SIL hangar in Yaounde, Cameroon; do repairs there with a visiting team from the US; find a loaner aircraft to use in the meantime.

C) Put aircraft in container; move it to the US; do repairs there with a crew of supporters; find a loaner aircraft to use in the meantime.

A lot will hinge on the findings of the insurance guy and the decision he makes.

At minimum, we'll be looking at a

need of $25,000 to cover our insurance deductible. Please pray that we find these funds quickly.
