Heroism’s Essence
Helicopter air-tour operators throughout Hawaii have mobilized for purpose of transporting critical supplies to those parts of the islands devastated by wildfires. The destruction of infrastructure has left residents of Maui without water, food, baby-formula, diapers, pet-food, and medications—commodities at once essential to wellbeing, dignity, and survival. Tons of such goods have been flown into Maui’s Kahului (OGG) and Kapalua Airport (JHM) aboard helicopters belonging to Hawaiian air-tour operators.
