MT Prop shipping, taking coworkers for a ride

Our prop was supposed to ship from MT in Germany to California for paint and assembly this week. I didn’t confirmation that that happened, but I hope to hear good news the first of the week. We haven’t been getting a lot of flying in with the early sunset and cool weather, and Beth’s been […]
