March 20, 2010 – 7:02pm – Saturday – Titusville, FL – Space Center Executive Airport / Air Mobile Hangar / Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe)

Earlier today, I caught this “Stow-Away” in our cargo pod! It’s really Peter, my son. It’s amazing how much you can put in the little pod beneath the C-337. We went and saw the three trailers that are in being considered as a donation to Air Mobile Ministries. They are just beautiful and would be so valuable in Haiti for both our Volunteer teams as well as temporary housing for the needy. PLEASE pray that the donation goes through. This photo is of the 36 foot Montana 5th Wheel. Standing in front with me and Dieunika is Dave. Dave is the one who is speaking to the owners about the donation. Thank you, Dave!! 

The trailer in the photo below is a 24 foot “Bunkhouse” version. We can sleep about 8 team members in this one. It appears to be in excellent condition. 

The last trailer is the 20 foot one. I like the large windows and simple but efficient design. In front of the trailer is Peter and Dieunika. 

When we are in Haiti on this next mission, we will be speaking with the authorities about the procedure to ship in travel trailers. Pray that we find favor in this regard. Here is a wonderful thought. Travel trailers are quite earthquake proof because they have tires and suspension. They would endure a quake quite well. The wonderful thing about this potential donation is, we would receive crew facilities instantly and they are somewhat earthquake proof. This is a true answer to prayer. You know, I am astounded at how generous folks have been. As you may have read, our area of the country, the Space Coast, is about to receive a huge financial shock with the shut down in the Space Shuttle and now the Constellation Program (the rocket designed to take us back to the moon). It is projected that our region could lose between 24,000 – 30,000 jobs. That is a huge economic setback. Yet….people have been so generous during this terrible tragedy of the Haiti earthquake. I stand amazed and extremely thankful. Better close out now.

You never know what tomorrow may bring….. Air Mobile Joe
