Tomorrow morning Rick and Mark will take off from JAARS in 8KQ and head for Oshkosh, Wisconsin, site of the world's premier aviation aficionado air-show. Cleaned up and shiny, it will join the JAARS team of 30-some people. It will be one of at least five other Kodiaks showing up.
Meanwhile, back in the welding shop, preparations are underway for a more serious venture -- giving 8KQ the range to fly halfway around the globe to Papua New Guinea. This 300-gallon "ferry tank" will be installed in the cabin, effectively doubling the range of 8KQ, and making the long legs of that trip possible. More to come on the route that we are planning to take.
