In a minute...


Just heard that an AMA pilot died in a plane crash in Papua this past Friday. Dave Clapper was on a ten minute flight to bring some produce to another village and flew into a mountain. He leaves his wife and 5 children. He flew into the Mbua when we were there, he was so engaging friendly and helpful. He had such a heart for the Papuan people...This wasn't his plane, this is a MAF plane but the idea is the same. It is always in the back of your mind while you fly around in Papua with all the different agencies that fly... we depend and respect these men who put their lives on the line to transport everything back and forth.
In a minute, every thing changes...May the God of comfort do his good work here...we are so very sad for this family and for the extended family in Papau, I can feel the pain all the way here.
