Watch this video SECOND - Watch #6a FIRST!

Two part video about a problem found while executing the initial test flight preflight inspection. This aircraft was tossed by storm winds in Africa. It was flipped over onto another parked aircraft. The one year restoration is coming to a close. This will be the first time the aircraft has flown since being restored.

What an awesome project to be a part of! After flying high performance multi engine aircraft for nearly ten years, I am finding great enjoyment in the opportunity to work on one. This aircraft is a King Air 200 twin turboprop aircraft operated by Gospel Carriers International (GCI). Turboprop (jet engines with propellers) aircraft are more complex machines. We provide much of the maintenance for GCI which uses the aircraft to ministry to Chinese nationals living in North America. Great experience on a type of aircraft which is finding increasing use on the mission field.
