Aviation Community Rallies Around Disaster Relief Efforts
Scott Roberts, owner of a Pilatus PC-12, flew to Houston to transport dogs from shelters to Idaho after Hurricane Harvey. The mission was coordinated by Wings of Rescue and AERObridge, and Roberts also brought 1,500 pounds of supplies. The dogs were relocated to new homes, and the mission was completed after nearly 3,300 miles of flying. The story showcases the potential for private aircraft to support disaster relief efforts and the importance of community-driven initiatives in responding to humanitarian crises. This effort was reported by Pilatus.
