I took this picture yesterday, from behind our house.  He's ready for take off.  
 And away he goes.  There are 4 runways here, the shortest being 1100 feet.  There are 2 more runways in the mountains, one of those is 900 feet long.
 George and Danny have spent many hours digging up water valves, repairing leaking valves, replacing old valves,  and yesterday, repairing a hose which they accidentally cut. 
 This is inside the hangar.  These 2 Piper Super-cub frames are privately owned and are being restored. Everything is done in house, including manufacturing parts and painting.
 This Cessna 206 has a diesel engine that runs on Jet A fuel, made this way because aviation gas is not always easily available in third world countries, but jet fuel is. It's still here because they are having trouble getting it certified to go overseas.
