Inside and Outside the GCI King Air

Here are some contrasts in maintenance procedures. In the first shot, Mike has crawled under the control panel inside the cockpit. Josh assists Mike by moving the control yoke fore and aft as needed to accomplish the task behind the panel.

In the second shot Andy uses an electric scissors lift to inspect the King Air's tail section and control surfaces.

Whether working cramped inside the fuselage or high on a scissors lift outside the fuselage, it's still work. Work necessary to ensure the airworthiness of the airplane and the safety of the passengers it will soon carry.

It's a privilege to have the opportunity to maintain such an airplane and to have you as part of our team. Through your gifts and prayers, you're with Mike and Josh inside the airplane and with Andy up high on the lift outside the airplane. May God receive the glory.
