MARC performs maintenance on many aircraft:
1. The MARC Fleet (2 Beechcraft King Airs, 1 Piper Navajo)
2. Aircraft operated by other missionary groups in the region
3. Personal aircraft in the area (revenue used to help offset MARC's operational costs)
Many of the pilots are also mechanics but usually there are not enough mechanics for the amount of work that could come in the hangar doors. More mechanics means more aircraft maintenance that MARC could take on and help offset the costs of their primary purpose: flying and maintaining missionary aircraft.
That is why they need more people. More staff would allow MARC and affiliated groups to further enhance air transportation logistics in support of the Christian Church and in effect God's Kingdom in remote road-less Alaska.
It has been a very rewarding experience being able to put my skills as an aviation maintenance technician to work for such a worthy cause and purpose.
