Sat Night Flight 3 Sept 2011; Hatteras Relief Mission

This week's flight is a relief mission to Hatteras Island, North Carolina.

Hurricane Irene did considerable devastation to the island, especially the village just north of Hatteras called Rodanthe, where 4 different sections of Highway 12 were completely destroyed, completely severing the only physical link to the mainland ( Pic Gallery ). The ferry docks were damaged, so none of the civilian ferries are currently running, and boat traffic is still dangerous as the storm completely changed the sand bottom of the sound around the island. That leaves air traffic to the small airport at Hatteras Village.

We will be flying supplies, materials, and equipment to Hatteras Island using our C130J's. Our flight plan takes us from Memphis to Hatteras...
