Virginia Chapter Dedicates Donated Twin Aero Commander

Members of the Virginia Chapter lay hands on the donated Aero Twin Commander during a dedication prayer.

The Virginia chapter members, PCI supporters, family and friends gathered on Saturday morning, August 4th at the Manassas Airport (HEF) to dedicate the recently donated Aero Twin Commander to the Lord.  The group rejoiced together at the goodness of the Lord's special gift which will enable the chapter to fly non-ambulatory missions when needed.  Dr. Paul Lee of the First Baptist Church of Clarendon wrote and led a dedication song for the occasion which was sung to the tune of "I'll Fly Away".  He also wrote a poem entitled "The Pilot's 23rd Psalm" which attendees recited together.

Those in attendance laid their hands upon the plane while  Pastor Tim Tate of the United Methodist Church of Centreville prayed a prayer of dedication to the Lord's service.  Pastors Tom Moore and Barry Phips of the Manassas Assembly of God Church also spoke words of encouragement for the occasion.  Following the dedication, everyone gathered for refreshments and fellowship at the Falcon Head FBO conference room at Manassas Airport.

    Virginia chapter pilots Jim McConnell and Lee De Armond put the Twin Commander to good use on August 8th by flying 85-year-old Mrs. Flora Lucile Foster from Altoona, Pennsylvania back to her home in Manassas, Virginia.  Mrs. Foster had fallen and broken her hip while visiting relatives and was very happy to be transported back home again after an extended stay in the hospital and nursing care center.

The Virginia chapter looks forward to using the Aero Twin Commander for many more mercy missions
