Hurricane Ivan - Cayman Islands

I spent the time from 13th September to 19th September ferrying supplies to the Cayman Islands devastated by Hurricane Ivan. We took in load after load of water, medince, generators, food and other supplies. On the return trips we brought people out that were wanting to get off the island. They were taken to Nassau, Bahamas or Houston, Texas. Some of the people we first took to Nassau had to be moved out later because of Jeanne (another hurricane) approaching. We were one of the first aircraft into the Cayman Islands after the hurricane and the devestation was incredible, even though for some reason it was not mentioned in the news very much.


It was also rewarding bringing in Kentucky Fried chicken, cold fruit and drinks and other food that was welcomed by the airport workers. There were tears flowing at times when they received the food. The helpfulness of the staff for unloading freight etc. was amazing.
