Episode 352 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: Disaster Response by General Aviation with BK On this week’s show, we spend time speaking with Bravo Kilo and the response from general aviation during the most recent natural disaster.  Hurricane Helene has devasted our home state and general aviation is playing a huge role in delivering critical supplies to a community that has been completely isolated due to flooding, mud slides, road closures, and power outages. 

 

We need your help!  We have made a short list of local organizations where you can donate your time, supplies, money, or your airplane to help our community.  Thank you, everyone!

 

Operation Airdrop where you can help move supplies with your plane, volunteer your time, help raise funds, or donate supplies:
