Some of my favorite things . . .

I'm sure you've heard the song from the musical Sound of Music that starts, "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . ."  (Now that I've mentioned it, it will probably be one of those tunes that get stuck in your head that won't go away.  Please accept my apology if that's the case.)  Anyway, what I saw as I walked into the hangar this morning makes my list of favorite things.

Mechanical restoration of the Cessna model 206 is practically complete.  Last Friday the plane was weighed and its new weight and balance data computed.  Ground-runs and final operational checks are yet to be done and all the maintenance records have to be completed before return-to-service flights can be made. 

The plane will soon meet transportation needs of Christian ministries in Brazil.  (They have a huge place there to take-off and land called the Amazon river and its tributaries.)  However, on a cold winter morning in Coshocton, Ohio, it's one of my favorite things.
