Hurricane Ian And The Immortal Cub (Revised) - AVweb

An idea…

Hurricane Air Force.

Insurance companies would maintain a list of qualified pilots willing to volunteer to fly down and fly airplanes out of harm’s way. I’m retired and wouldn’t mind doing something like that to help folks out. I bet there’s a lot of other guys (both literal and figurative) who would be willing and able to help out. This would free aircraft owners up to take care of the family. No one argues that moving the airplane is the smart move. The issues of course are logistics and reality. Even if you had time and could move your own plane, you still need to get back down there - in monumental traffic - only to bug out in that same traffic back north. It’s plain which process should take priority. The family’s safety is paramount. But maybe some of us could pitch in to help. A quick flight down yonder, pick up the plane and fly it where the owner wants it flown. Then fly home from there and the owner can go get it at their convenience. I’m game. It’s an idea anyhow.
