Early Kodiak Flights

Shortly after the Kodiak arrived we were able to do some training flights without passengers.  Later on, the aviation officials stopped letting us do these flights too.  Here are some pictures of those early flights.  Thankfully we are flying again and with passengers too.  Chad will now begin training the other ADSE pilots so that they can fly the Kodiak too.

No Kodiak in this picture, but there are 3 "206's" in Tiwaeno for a missionary visit. 

This picture is the first time we landed the Kodiak on Ecuadorian "dirt" in the community of Kapawi.  

The kids went along on a run up of the engine.  We didn't even get to fly, but they were excited to ride along.
