Saw Keven's plane at PDK, full feather on the rear engine.

The logistics are a nightmare. People can't leave the shelters, unless they have a place to go to, the plane is available, and they have a medical sign off that they are cleared to fly.

We left HDk, flew direct to HUM (across the NO TFR), Picked up these folks, who were all Dialisys patients in the area. Flew them to PDK, where they were staying with folks. Thoght we'd get a quick turn at PDK, but by the time we got loaded with cargo, it was late. Got the pilots discount at a local hotel.

Full load of cargo, and we're headed back this morning. Hope to do a quick turn, and head back to PDK. Hope.

Met lots of really great folks. All volunteers, who, like me, took time from their jobs to help these folks out. Fuel is not cheap. There are some discounts, but....
