There is never a dull moment at AWA. Often, we have to be prepared to take on any role as needed, but we spend most of our time maintaining our aircraft. The shop has several projects running concurrently. Right now, we are completing an annual inspection on a Cessna 172 for “Wings for Humanity”, AWA’s flight school. Its fuel selector valve was leaking, and another had to be purchased. After the 172 is returned to service, we will turn our attention to a Piper Cherokee 180. It requires installing a new alternator and battery, making it flyable enough to ferry it to our main hangar in Wilson for further maintenance and inspections. It has been a back-burner project for a long time, but it will soon be ready for an annual inspection and then put to work. Its future has not yet been decided, but it would certainly make a good trainer for the “Wings for Humanity” flight school.
