Not a good week for missionary aviation...

...as you can see in the pictures below. The airplane in the pictures is 9J-CMT, which used to serve with AIM AIR under the registration 5Y-CMT. It is a Cessna turbocharged 210, previously owned by the Baptist Mission (Southern Baptists/IMB), which flew in conjunction with AIM AIR, and is now owned by Flying Mission. It has been flying in and around Zambia/Botswana/etc and went down on January 26 due to engine complications. As you can see, it was in the middle of NOWHERE, but everyone survived due to some good flying by the pilot. Once again, praise the Lord that there were no injuries, just another busted up missionary airplane.

For more info, watch the pilot's account on YouTube:

Hi
I am very sorry to hear what happened to the missionary plane. I used to see it in different parts of Tanzania, doing misssionary work; some time helping sick people who could not afford travell by air to Refferal Hospitals. It is cery sad.
Thank to the Lord that no one hurt, and many thanks to Missionary pilot for an efforts to land in that situation.
God bless you.
