Does MAF fly overseas from the U.S.A.?
No — except when we ferry a new plane to one of our overseas bases. Whenever MAF acquires an additional aircraft, we modify it extensively for field operations. Then an MAF pilot flies it to its final destination. For this trip, the aircraft is equipped with an extra fuel tank containing approximately 230 gallons of fuel. The pilot is then able to fly the plane nonstop for up to 20 hours.
