Todd's World

Usually I write about our life here and things going on with the kids or our family in general. I thought it might be interesting to know what a typical day for Todd is like now that he is working at the hangar each day.
He carpools each morning with Will White, Jason Krul, Mark Williams, and other office workers that they pick up along the way.
Last week he worked with John Munsell on an inspection for HH-MAF. Normally MAF aircraft need a major inspection every 1000 hours of flight time, which means that the airplane is out of commission for a long time. MAF Haiti (and a lot of the MAF programs) does a progressive inspection on the planes, so each 50 hours something on the airplane is closely examined. Every 100 hours (or every other 50 hr. inspection) the engine is examined. This time they were inspecting the cabin and fuselage.
As part of the inspection Thursday he changed a seat track and riveted. The landing strip in Hinche is very rocky, so often the belly of the plane has gashes from rocks that fly up. The hole that John was patching was quite large...about an inch long. Friday he painted the plane's interior panels and fixed a small broken antenna.
Along with aircraft maintenance and inspections, Todd has been able to work on MAF computers and cars.
