15 years ago today. The last commercial flights of Concorde touched down at Heathrow. A few of us from Loughborough Students Flying Club drove down to witness the end of an era. That’s me in the middle by the way! (not my photo, taken for a newspaper).

@JordanLKirkland You're very welcome. Tell them good luck out there.

@Donofritos @HellbenderHecht @UF Only through Wednesday is the plan, Zach. Once the roads are open a truck is more efficient than us, at that point it's time to go home. We will hand off to a ground based local charity at that point.

Not like North Carolina. Instead of water blocking the road, there are houses blocking the road :(

Thanks Steve Daiagi for use of the TwinStar!

Thanks to @opairdrop we are able to send relief supplies to Apalachicola communities using volunteer planes and helicopters. The helicopter is being used to deliver to Cape Sand Blas where the roads are closed. #HurricaneMichael

@BirdvilleSchool softball thanks for the supply in Dallas en route to Gainesville! @FloridaGators lets get those boxes in the door to fly out to hurricane victims at @UniversityAir

It seems that we'll be going to gator country this weekend. Thanks @GNVAirport

We met up last week with a friend from Harvey who said he had to explain back in 2017, "we don't have water bottles, we have water pallets..." 👇

@MaxTrescott Their ADS-B data is quite thorough in most places. Been able to see myself from wheels up to wheels down for a couple of years now, even in some sketchy places.

✈ A change of course for one of our residents, John @McManigleMD, as a joy ride becomes a volunteer opportunity with @opairdrop to transport much-needed supplies to #NorthCarolina residents recovering from #HurricaneFlorence. ✈ #GoDuke

[Operation Airdrop @opairdrop]

Thanks @polkadotmamainc for the $5,000 (ish!) dollar donation of supply last week!

If anyone else has pics we should see, feel free to email them to [email protected]

[Operation Airdrop @opairdrop]

Thanks, North Carolina, you guys are the best. Good luck out there.

Hey pilots, quick word:

The turnout today has been great! We will be using TAC Air's building for supply from here on out, of course, but Signature next door is on board with equivalent waving of ramp fees and fuel pricing. If you can't find a spot, park at Signature.
