Rochester, Schenectady, Ft. Washington (Philadelphia) -- all pleasant preludes to the Saturday-Sunday event at Smoketown Airport near Lancaster, PA. The International Association of Mission Aviation "Missions Fest" is expecting around 3,000 attendees. JAARS is here with two smaller airplanes and the helicopter. We'll all be very busy giving rides and telling the story. The Kodiak will be of particular interest to folks who have prayed for and supported the project for years. 
Steve Saint is here, and will displaying and demonstrating his little Piper Family Cruiser, identical to the one his father, Nate Saint, flew in Ecuador before that fateful encounter with the Waorani tribesmen in 1956 (read Through Gates of Splendor, or see the recent movie, End of the Spear). Steve will demonstrate the "bucket drop" procedure that his father developed to lower gifts to the Waorani via a long line from his circling Piper.
