This is as good as it gets, folks. Every once in awhile, a special offer comes along that simply can’t be ignored, and that’s what we have here. Thanks to a cooperative effort between MSI, Moody Aviation, and especially a dedicated team of instructors from Emergency Response International (ERI), some top-notch survival training is being made available to the mission aviation community at an incredibly low price. Trust me, these ERI guys are good. They train many of the world’s best—be it military, special ops, industry executives, or the like—and now they are using their talents to serve the mission aviation world.

The Fly4Life emphasis has taken off ans is a huge success here at EAA’s AirVenture 2009 in Oshkosh.

 IAMA is front and center just off AeroShell Square in a 30′ by 40′ tent sharing the stories of missionary aviation around the world to the hundreds of thousand of people visiting the EAA Airventure 2009 this year.

“That’s my village.” Meet Nard Pugyao, JAARS pilot.

 Nard used to be from a family of cannibals from the jungles of the Philippines.

 In the 1950’s a Wycliffe Bible Translator came to his village called Dibagat in the highlands of the Philippines, home of his people the Isnag.

A great day starts with a great breakfast at EAA Airventure 2009!

Thank you MASA (Mission Aviation Support Association) for you hospitality. Without you the mission community presence at the EAA Airventure 2009 in Oshkosh would be difficult to say the least.

After a year of preparation, tomorrow is the start of the EAA AirVenture 2009, with Public Benefit Flying as a keystone emphasis this year. IAMA will play a pivotal role in the formal introduction of many to this unique form of ministry.

 This year’s IAMA conference took place in Tucson, Arizona, from April 19 – April 23. The first two days were a special event put on by Fort Sherman Academy. Nineteen people took advantage of this opportunity to go through their B+ security training. It was an exciting course, full of surprises, for one never knew what was coming next.
