  • 2020-05-15 — CNA (via TJJ) reports that Lin, a 40-year-old Taiwanese-American missionary pilot and qualified flight instructor for MAF (MIT CS BS/MS, Gordon-Conwell seminary; ex-USAF officer and IT technical director; US Air Force service noted in a NATPA letter), died on 2020-05-12 when her Kodiak 100 crashed into Lake Sentani minutes after takeoff while delivering COVID-19 rapid-test kits and school supplies to a remote Papuan village — MAF’s first fatal accident in 23 years; per the same report she was an experienced pilot and qualified flight instructor who had completed her first solo MAF flight in March 2020 and was cleared to fly to the 20 MAF-served villages, hauling soap, medicine, screening kits and PPE for missionaries and aid workers, her body recovered about 12 m under the lake (TJJ, 2020-05-15).

  • 2020-05-18 — the community memorialized her in the TAH record: 05-2020; her Who’s Who encyclopedia entry is 2270. Joyce Lin 林才欣.

  • Corpus re-check 2026-09-23 (deepen-x slice 09221300-5): fresh grep 林才欣/Joyce Lin across works+articles returns the same saturated set — videos-162, [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-2270-joyce-lin|Who’s Who #2270]], the TJJ 2020-05-15 report (first-solo-flight and 20-village detail now absorbed above), plus the St. Louis ourjourneys305 different-person HOLD. No new absorbable material.

  • Corpus re-check 2026-09-22 (deepen-x slice 09220500-4): fresh grep of works/ + articles/ — hits are the same records already linked (videos-162, Who’s Who #2270, TJJ 2020-05-15 report, Our Journeys #305) plus works/index.md. No new absorbable material; the 1972–84 St. Louis Joyce Chen Lin HOLD above stands.

  • Corpus scan note (2026-09-18): HOLD — the “Joyce Lin” in the St. Louis church memoir Our Journeys 305 is “Dr. & Mrs. Yi-Ming & Loon-Mei Joyce Chen Lin”, a founding family of Formosan Christian Fellowship of St. Louis (1972) and newsletter writer 1978–84; a different person with the same English name (this page’s subject was MIT-educated and based in Columbus/Ohio). Not absorbed.
