Hurricane Sandy Relief Flight


Recommended Posts

I decided to fly a FedEx cargo plane loaded with supplies for the New York / New Jersey area from my home base of Ft. Lauderdale. If anyone else feels like flying in some supplies, feel free to post your pics here. I'll try to find a liitle pub and have some drinks waiting.

Loading up the plane at KFLL.

A little off center. I think that's the Rikers Island Bridge in the distance.

Great shots Rich - you were a bit close to that 727 on pushback!

It was pretty tight, but the tug operator did a great job. I don't know what the DHL plane was doing at the FedEx terminal.

Thanks for helping out my old Long Island homies Richard. :thum:They sure can use it. You are a credit to the aviation world and good folks everywhere. :D

I'm sure the government dudes will finally figure out how to help those poor people out after a few more meetings. :P
