N341EA

N341EA is a Cessna 185 on amphibious floats that AIM AIR has the privilege of operating down on Lake Victoria. Last week, it crashed on landing in the lake and flipped upside down in the water. An AIM AIR recovery team was able to fly down to Tanzania and worked for about four days. They were able to get the airplane upright, but it is still under water. The team is heading back down to TZ today where they will meet a large crane on a barge which will lift the plane out of the water and take it to land. They will then partially dismantle it and bring it to Nairobi.

Please pray for the team as they will be working hard over the weekend to get the airplane out of the water and prepped for travel to Nairobi.

Pray for the pilot of the airplane. He was the only one in the plane at the time of the incident and was able to escape without injury. Pray for him and his family during this time.

Pray for the team of AIM AIR as we assess the damage and seek the best way to proceed.
