Bladder Tank Woes

Written by Earl

We have been experiencing some "transient" leaks on our left, outboard fuel tank. Sometimes it leaks, sometimes it doesn't(?) I opened all the panels, inspected for blue stains (indicating a fuel leak), and tightened all the screws and/or bolts that are on top. Maybe it was one or more of the cork gaskets leaking when the cold gas was put in and started expanding as it warmed up? We'll see on one of the next flights!

Thanks for checking in!

Church Planting

Manley Baptist Fellowship is a group of Believers who either live in, or within 40 miles of Manley Hot Springs, Alaska. It is not unusual for folks to fly in, boat or 4-wheeler in (in the summer), snow machine in (in the winter), or just walk in for services on Sunday!

Testimonial

Without MAC five young men wouldn't have been saved

Your friendship and help over the years has been a real blessing. Without MAC (Mission Air Care) five young men wouldn't have been saved. These young men are still active in our ministry and helped all week with VBS.
