  • Summary

  • Max talks about the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, which resulted in at least 200 deaths, mostly in North Carolina, and brought unprecedented rainfall to the Southeast. Towns like Hendersonville and Spruce Pine received over 20 inches of rain, causing widespread flooding and isolating mountain communities. Relief efforts have been extensive, involving the National Guard, Coast Guard, and various aviation groups. Helicopters have played a crucial role in reaching remote areas, while general aviation pilots have been delivering supplies. Listeners who participated talk about their experiences transporting essential goods, such as water and food, and detailed their experiences flying into affected areas. Organizations like Operation Airdrop and Aerobridge coordinated hundreds of flights, delivering supplies to impacted communities. The podcast highlighted the importance of working through relief organizations to ensure supplies reach those in need efficiently, and that the need for volunteer pilots continues.
