First post ever

Hi, this is Mike and Angie Johnson and we are preparing to serve overseas through mission aviation. We are currently in the process of applying with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). We started this blog so that friends and family can join us on our journey and get to know us a bit better along the way.

Mike and I have been married for seven years and have two little ones, Colton and Macie. Colton is three years old and is just as obsessed with airplanes as his mom and dad. Colton loves to go up in the airplane and build flight time with his dad.

Macie is our little girl, she is a year and a half old.  We started her early by introducing Macie to her first flight when she was just five weeks old.  She gets a bit bored and loud if the flight gets too long for her liking and we joke that it is good practice for Mike to learn to fly with "distractions" in the back of the plane.

Our family is currently members of Servant Wings which is an organization designed to help future missionary pilots obtain the training required to serve overseas in a cost-effective manner.  The biggest hurdle involved in joining a mission is that you have to be debt-free when you join.  Servant Wings has three airplanes that we can rent to build flight time in.  For all the airplane geeks out there they are a Cessna 206, 172, and 152.  Mike still needs about 40 hours of flight time before we are fully qualified to serve with MAF.
