Story number 3 for 14 Jul 2000

Missionary Aviation Fellowship is reporting a robbery in Papua New Guinea earlier this week. While in Garaina to pick up passengers, three MAF pilots along with 3 passengers, were held at gun point while a group of bandits ransacked the aircraft. After the robbers left, MAF officials flew to the largest airport in the Morobe Province to report the incident. Police are investigating. MAF is praising God that none of the passengers or crew were injured and that the aircraft was undamaged.
