I’d like to share a note that went out from one of our aircraft owners about a Thanksgiving mission that was flown on a few hours notice to get some injured soldiers home for Thanksgiving. These guys just returned stateside from a nine month long tour in Afghanistan and had not yet had a chance …
Robert, Thank you so much for all you and your crew did to make our Veterans Airlift flight to your FBO a success.
