SAMI Flights:

Welcome Our New SAMI CFI

Bob Lehton & Scott Saunders

June 20th SAMI’s founder Bob Lehton confirmed our member Scott Saunders is now the newest flight instructor for SAMI. Scott is a CFI and CFII (Certified Flight Instructor and Certified Flight Instructor Instruments) who is also working on his MEI (Multi-Engine Instructor) license at Space Coast Aviation.

Scott is pleased to give flight instruction to SAMI members at no charge and non-members for $35/hour. You can email Scott at scott@servantairministries.org

If you are interested in becoming a missionary pilot for SAMI or taking flying lessons you can find SAMI flight instructors at http://www.servantairministries.org/flight-training/

Our Airport’s Improvements: The Merritt Island field has been remarked and the threshold moved 1200 feet to do repair work on the field. Work will continue for 9 months so if someone lands long the field will be extended 400 feet to hopefully prevent planes from going into the river.

Aztec Update: Work on the Aztec is coming along fine and it will be ready to fly within a couple of weeks. SAMI will wait until July 1st to begin the 13 month log. Aztec annual was completed and we can use this pane to fly missions but if SAMI receives a good offer we will sell it to purchase a more economical mission plane.
Formation Easter Flight 2016
Easter Morning Services on Merritt Island

Marcella Mika is SAMI’s coordinator for our Easter Sunrise formation flight in 2016. Formation flying requires skill, coordination and practice. Do you know pilots or flying organizations who may want to join us? Please have them contact Marcella at meekamika43@gmail.com or call 321-265-2694. Thank you!

Bahama Mission Flights: Ryan Roberts and John Rivera are doing the ground work of researching churches in the Bahamas for mission work. Ryan is doing cold calls to see if people need help from SAMI and what their specific needs are: housing, bibles, disaster relief, aide, water purification, etc. Scott Langston has asked all SAMI members to please keep in prayer our desire to do mission work in the Bahamas so we’ll know where God wants us to go and what we should bring – medical supplies, shoes, etc, and how we should serve. The Bahama Mission Committee is requesting members pray and share.

Plane Donation: SAMI is interested in communicating with businesses and people who would like to donate their plane to our ministry. If you meet an interested party please have them contact Dick Blondin at dick@servantairministries.org.
