So...what is a piston engine?

For the past three weeks (excluding Christmas) I have been working at Moody Aviation in Spokane WA, changing out two Cessna 206's engines.  This is not regular maintenance that usually happens everyday so this was special for me to get in on the experience and get my hands greasy.  After being at Spokane Turbine Center for the last two years and not touching a piston engine in that time, being involved in this project is great. 

Since this is the next step in the process to going overseas we are excited about how God is leading us to Moody to get some more experience before heading to M.A.F for a technical evaluation this October.


 This is what a Cessna 206 looks like without an engine, all bare and ugly.
