Airplanes Galore : Part 2

A little while ago, I wrote about the aircraft that we were currently working on. Part 2 is about the aircraft that have a more permanent residence here at MMS Aviation:

Taylorcraft

The Taylorcraft is one of two aircraft that actually belong to MMS Aviation. It was built way back in the mid 40's and the fuselage, wings vertical stabilisers etc are fabric covered.

Bakeng Duce

The Duce is the other aircraft. This is a homebuilt aircraft that was donated to MMS. It's another fabric covered aircraft, but as you can see in this photo, it's an open top. The pilot sits in the back whilst the passenger gets some great views up front.

Cessna 172

In the first Airplanes Galore, I talked about this aircraft being resprayed and having an annual done on it for Bob, one of our supervisors . As you can see, Ian did an amazing job of spraying and adding all the details. It has already been used at two Aviation Camps this summer that have helped young people with an interest in flying and missions. (I got to fly in this one earlier today!!)

Rockwell Commander 114

The Commander belongs to another supervisor, Dale. Dale brought it all the way from Africa with him. It's a very nice aircraft that is used by some of the pilots at MMS to help out with errands that would take all day if they had to drive to the various locations.

Cessna 172

This little Cessna is stored here at MMS by Williams Chang of Gospel Carriers International (GCI). That's because he also owns a Super King Air 200 (see below), a Cessna 310 and another Cessna 172. So each time he brings in one of his other aircraft for work or and inspection, he can fly home again in this 172.
