In the MMS Aviation engine shop there was a decidedly English tone to wrap up the work week. Andy Porter and Mark Beckwith measured parts of the Continental O-300D engine they had just disassembled. Andy and Mark are from England and are here through the partnership MMS Aviation has with Mission Aviation Fellowship of the UK. They're from different parts of England, and even we tone-deaf "Yanks" can hear they speak with different accents. They were working under the supervision of staff member, Ian Hengst.

In the afternoon, friends we knew in Bolivia (with Wycliffe Bible Translators) stopped by the hangar for a short visit. Steve worked in the print shop and Betty taught in a missionary kids' school. This was in Cochabamba, Bolivia in the late 1970s and early '80s.
