This week, Tuesday, we had one of our (M.A.R.C.) King Air airplanes crash. The pilot landed the aircraft 50 feet to the right of the runway. It was by the grace of God that the pilot and co-pilot are safe and sound. They are emotionally wounded, but physically safe. Scott helped the team dig out the aircraft and get it ready to be moved into the hangar. The right landing gear was ripped off and the nose landing gear went straight up into the aircraft. Both engines are lost and the propeller had to be cut away during the moving because it kept hitting the ground. They had to use an inflatable raft thing to lift the wing up, you can see this in one of the photos. Please be in prayer the pilots involved that God will give them the confidence they need to pursue flying for Jesus. Also, that MARC will have the wisdom as to how to go about fixing or replacing it. A King Air is a million dollar aircraft. This is a hard week for all of us at MARC and we appreciate your prayers.

Praise the Lord the flight crew is okay!
So sad to see that. So thankful for God's hand of protection. Glad you can be there to help and encourage in a difficult time. I know you will!
