The Aztec Story

"Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples when they see the love you have for each other."                                                                                                                             John 13:33-35

Midwest Missionair acquired Piper Aztec N6324Y in January 2001

N6324Y was used to take volunteers to Honduras later that year to build a
House for Evelyna.
By early 2004 N6324Y had proven itself sound and reliable but with obsolete electronics and (quite frankly) shabby external appearance we decided to refinish the whole aircraft and update instruments and electronics.
Volunteers from Heartland Community Church in Overland Park, KS took on the nasty job of removing old paint.
