15 years ago today. The last commercial flights of Concorde touched down at Heathrow. A few of us from Loughborough Students Flying Club drove down to witness the end of an era. That’s me in the middle by the way! (not my photo, taken for a newspaper).
Thanks to all in Gainesville! If you didn't get to us in time for your donations to fly, here are two alternatives, they'll be moving donated items to the panhandle this week.

Not like North Carolina. Instead of water blocking the road, there are houses blocking the road :(

Thanks Steve Daiagi for use of the TwinStar!
Thanks to @opairdrop we are able to send relief supplies to Apalachicola communities using volunteer planes and helicopters. The helicopter is being used to deliver to Cape Sand Blas where the roads are closed. #HurricaneMichael

Local pilot volunteering with @opairdrop headed to the Panhandle to deliver goods to victims of Hurricane Michael. Tune in at @WPBF25News at 6 to find out how you can help!
It seems that we'll be going to gator country this weekend. Thanks @GNVAirport
Well, so much for our weekend plans. Ya'll ready to go to Florida? We are. #Michael
We met up last week with a friend from Harvey who said he had to explain back in 2017, "we don't have water bottles, we have water pallets..." 👇

✈ A change of course for one of our residents, John @McManigleMD, as a joy ride becomes a volunteer opportunity with @opairdrop to transport much-needed supplies to #NorthCarolina residents recovering from #HurricaneFlorence. ✈ #GoDuke

Thank you to all who helped coordinate and conduct relief efforts after the devastation from Hurricane Florence affected. @SierraNevCorp @SignatureFBO Fayetteville Fire/Emergency Management @RedCross @NCNationalGuard @AirdropRelief
Thanks @polkadotmamainc for the $5,000 (ish!) dollar donation of supply last week!
If anyone else has pics we should see, feel free to email them to [email protected]
Thanks, North Carolina, you guys are the best. Good luck out there.

Hey pilots, quick word:
The turnout today has been great! We will be using TAC Air's building for supply from here on out, of course, but Signature next door is on board with equivalent waving of ramp fees and fuel pricing. If you can't find a spot, park at Signature.
Thanks @BestTile Raleigh for hooking us up with cell phone repeaters inside the terminal at RDU. Release the houn!... err data?

@AirdropRelief is cooler. We need donations of supplies ASAP sent to the TAC General Aviation Terminal at #rdu ASAP to fly into area that can’t be reached by road crews. The more we receive the more pilots we can get on the ground. We have 300 on standby with planes.
