“The Spirit of Nate Saint”
On the eve of the 50th anniversary of "Operation Auca" and the tragic "Incident at Palm Beach," AirVenture 2005 was filled with the influence of Nate Saint. His children, grand children, and great grandchildren were at Oshkosh, with Grandfather Mincaye, one of the violent men Nate and his friends gave their lives to reach with the story of Jesus. The "End of the Spear" movie star replica of Nate's yellow Piper Family Cruiser 56H sat on the ramp, shoulder to shoulder with Quest's new Kodiak serial #1, symbolically poised to carry the work of mission aviation forward to reach a new generation.
