UP UP AND AWAY!!
After nearly 5 months of waiting on certification, our newest turbine DC-3, N500MF, has been approved to fly. Our staff and board are so grateful for everyone who has been praying for this aircraft. There is no doubt this turbine powered DC-3 will be a blessing to MFI and the missionaries we serve. This aircraft will haul a much larger load than the piston DC-3 that it will replace. Today, MFI must be extremely efficient with our aircraft and our funding. For the past few months, we have been depleting our engine reserve funds at an alarming rate to keep the airplanes in the air. If you could share a special gift to us at this time, by clicking on this link, it would be a major blessing to us and the missions we serve. Thanks again for your prayers and your giving to the ministry of Missionary Flights International. Rejoice with us for the addition of this aircraft tool that will be used in dedication to the Lord’s work in the Caribbean.

 Quick Engine Change
This week, our piston DC-3 returned from Haiti with some engine issues. Â After a thorough inspection of the right engine, the MFI mechanics discovered a large amount of metal inside the engine. Â Even though the engine was only at mid-life, it must be changed. Â Fortunately we have a spare engine ready to go but there will be some extra expenses that we were not planning on.
