[KCDXC] Where K4M

[Kevin Schavee]

The entire team is in Honolulu. On Thursday when the first members
were to depart to Midway we were informed of a problem with the plane
involving an oil leak. We were assured it was fixable. Friday several
test flights were made that determined that the repairs were
unsuccessful. We are frantically searching for alternative means. We
discovered yesterday that there are no available planes on the Island
that are either certified to fly to Midway or large enough for us. We
are negotiating with a company in California for a jet as well. The
plane we original chartered is about to take off on a test flight to
determine if the repairs made overnight were successful.
The team is not giving up and exploring ALL options to make this
happen. Fish and Wildlife is being very supportive of our efforts but
in no way will they extend the end date of our operation beyond the
19th (local time) due to the return of migratory species that have
already begun to return early.

We will update this website in 5 or 6 hours when the plane returns and
is checked out. We are as frustrated as you.
================================
04:00 UTC 11 October
We have just learned our aircraft is in the air testing repairs made
in the past 24 hours. We are anxiously waiting the results.
