Another Day…Another Mission

Some days we don’t get as many missions as we would like as the need here is great but the chain of command usually out ranks the need if you catch my drift… so the “hurry up and wait” mode usually kicks in mid morning which allows for some great aviation watching at the Isla Grande Airport here in Puerto Rico! Usually our days consist of hauling water, food, supplies, dialysis patients to and from the airport, folks around the island surveying the damage, and other passengers to and from other islands…but sometimes we get to do what we do best and do some external loads with the old girl! On this day we hauled generators and supplies out to a remote location, which you get to see in the video. The bottom pictures are of a Gulfstream that cut the corner too early on the taxiway and caused a bit of a ruckus not only at the airport but I’d imagine with their company as they caused some damage to their landing gear getting pulled out of the dirt! At least it gave us all a new focus for a few hours. Enjoy!
