Though you're still unlikely to hear much about the contribution
General Aviation is making to the Katrina recovery effort, one
Cessna is having an inestimable impact on Hurricane
releif after it was used to map much of the devastation left
by Hurricane Katrina.
Media reports are hitting the public at all angles about
nearly every possible aspect of the tragedy that befell this
nation. But... one of the more important stories in this drama is
unlikely to get much attention because it centers around the
incredible work being done by the (generally) under-appreciated
folks who populate the General Aviation community.
ANN Reader Robert Maier (pictured below) is a man on a
mission... an Angel Flight Mission. With his
Cherokee 180, Maier has become part of the undersung but
none-the-less invaluable mission being undertaken by unselfish,
heroic aviators who want nothing right now than to know that they
are part of a solution to a seemingly insurmountable
problem--bringing relief to those imperiled by the wrath of
Hurricane Katrina.
“It’s aviation mecca,” I wrote in an email
several days ago, while trying in vain to explain to a friend the
appeal of spending eight days at Wittman Field under alternating
blistering sun and drenching rain.
