Replacement Aircraft Fundraising Update

Sale of P337:
Sadly, the sale of the P337 in Venice Florida fell through. This was a real disappointment to us as we had hoped to use funds from that sale to purchase a plane suitable for operation in the Ixan, namely a Cessna U206. We hope another buyer will be found soon.

Mass Mailing:
We recently sent a post-card to every CessnaU206 owner in the U.S. suggesting a possible trade: Their U206 for a P337. It would be a sensible trade for many U206 owners that would like to upgrade to a twin-engine plane. The P337 is capable of flying much higher and faster and has added reliability of two engines and safety of redundant systems such as vacuum, electrical, pressurization, etc... We wish we could use it but the short, rough airstrips that we serve in the Ixcan won't allow it.

Lets pray that someone will take advantage of this offer so that we can get back to work in the Ixcan soon!
