Flew 8KQ Today











Well, the weather hasn't been cooperating very willingly here in northern Idaho. There's been plenty to do on the ground, but sooner or later we need to fly the plane to confirm all its systems are operating properly. Today we got airborne for about 45 mintues and N498KQ performed true to the Kodiaks I've known. Tomorrow will be a small celebration at Quest, in which our JAARS President will thank the employees for their dedication.


It would be great if we could leave for North Carolina on Friday. The National Weather Service shows that there are some pretty strong high pressure systems moving in, and this may provide the perfect window for us to depart. We may head straight south where the warmer weather is, or if the clear skies are east, we'll head over Montana and southeast.

Hey Steve and Mark. I'm a friend of Dave and Patsy Immel and a former member of Wycliffe JAARS. Dave sent us an email to let us know about the cross-country flight. I've shared the information with supporters that I think would be interested in this event. We are all praying for you and following your progress. We hope to travel to Waxhaw to see the plane.
