She Returns







For 6 months, one of our DC-3's was broken down on the island of Nassau in the Bahamas. In mid January our crew was returning from a cargo flight to Haiti when they experienced engine problems. We praise God they landed safely in Nassau. Because of delays at the overhaul shop and no definite date of when we would receive the engine, we were forced to purchase another overhauled engine. Hurricane season officially began June 1st and we did not want to have the plane exposed on the island as it was. This past Monday we flew with the new engine and all our tools to Nassau in one of our other DC-3's. Four of us worked two full days installing the new engine. We flew home Wednesday and returned to Nassau on Friday to complete a couple repairs before flying her home. The flight went well and since we were in two planes I was able to get some good photos of the plane in flight. We now have all three DC-3's in the hangar again.
