Quest Aircraft has recieved deposits for all 14 of the Kodiak airplanes that New Tribes Mission plans to put into service.

New Tribes Mission was able to put down the $750,000 deposit on each aircraft through the generosity of people like you. These deposits secure 14 production slots, and matching funds that double the value of each gift toward the deposits.

They do not, however, completely pay for each Kodiak. Among remaining costs are special equipment for operation on rugged airstrips in tribal villages, as well as delivery, training and insurance. These are estimated to be in the range of $600,000 for each aircraft.

Nonetheless, New Tribes Mission is exceedingly grateful to God and to our partners for this milestone.
