C336 Bush Plane - Mission Aviation
 

For those of you interested, I have been using N538JP for a missionary aviation project in Guatemala since 11-2007 (4 months now) and have been pretty happy with its performance in this role. (despite its fast landing speed). Our home airstrip is grass and 1400´long. That is about my minimum.

Anyone else doing this kind of work with these planes?

I maintain a blog that includes some interesting stories and lots of video related to our operation, with MedEvacs and missions support work. The URL is http://GuateMissionPilot.blogspot.com

We have a lot of good video. If nothing else, please watch this one, you´ll love it:

Thanks, Robert, for contributing. Fascinating work. I also enjoyed one of your other videos, with the distinctive sound of a Skymaster taking off, at:

Will you be back in Michigan this summer? It would be great to have you join us for the SOAPA meeting and give us a report on how you use the 336 in Central America. June 11-14.

What is the elevation of your base strip? It looks like you land up hill? Great Videos.
