FLIGHT - with Quest Kodiak information

[andrewbridget]

Seems like a good aircraft. How does it stack up to a Pilatus PC6?

[NewTribesMission]

@andrewbridget The Kodiak can carry more weight, has more passenger seats, has longer range with standard fuel tanks, cruises faster, has a greater rate of climb, and has a shorter wingspan (so it will fit on many airstrips currently in use).

Are the planes able to fly overseas?

[NewTribesMission]

@aeroflying The planes are located at supply centers within minutes to a couple hours flight time from tribal villages. Missionaries use commercial flights for international and domestic travel where those flight services are available.

@NewTribesMission

Thank you.

Why would their planes be in Arizona, when they do work in South America and Africa?

[NewTribesMission]

@DrPilotRedC New Tribes Mission Aviation pilots and mechanics are given specialized training in Arizona and aircraft are outfitted there.
