Finally, after 9 and 1/2 months!!

Our new plane has finally arrived!! As you can see from the photos, it still needs to be painted, but we will fly it for the next few weeks until we can get scheduled into a paint shop. This plane has a useful load (this is the amount of cargo, fuel and crew it can legally carry) of around 4450 pounds. Jim Lewis, a King Air instructor, will fly with our pilots to train them in this plane. It was flown in on Sunday by one of our volunteer pilots, Tom Walden. We are cramming to become familiar with this plane. The "tail number", the identification number painted on the side of the aircraft is "N412MA" but will be changed to "N316AF". This was chosen because: "N" designates a US registered aircraft, "316" to remind us of the love God has for us (John 3:16), and "AF" for Agape Flights. You can track our flights by going to www.flightaware.com and putting in the tailnumber of an aircraft. It will show the position in flight of the aircraft. You can use the N412MA until we get switched to our new designation in a fwew weeks.
