#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

I mean, literally we hit the ground, we refuel, we grab a mission and we just go.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

And then we would do that basically from about,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

We usually couldn't get started till about 9.30 because of fog.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

So, you know, about 9.30 we would go and then we usually had to stop about 6.30.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

So it would just be go, go, go that entire time.

#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

And then once we got a pretty good hold of that, it kind of went more to like Starlinks.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

The Shawn Ryan Show

Even the firefighters, we did a lot of firefighter drops.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

So we would actually, in a civilian helicopter, be picking up search and rescue crews, mainly firefighters, and flying them to their locations because they couldn't get any kind of helicopter support.
