FLIGHT - with Quest Kodiak information

There are no roads to most remote tribal villages. Hikes that could take a week or more require only minutes in an airplane like the Kodiak. Mission planes are lifelines. "It's an ambulance; it's a taxi; it's a school bus; it's a grocery store for the missionaries," says Larry Dye, NTM Aviation pilot and instructor. Fasten your seatbelts. Your FLIGHT is about to begin. (To learn more about mission aviation opportunities with New Tribes Mission, visit: www.ntm.org/aviation)

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.

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.
