MAF Kodiak sent to Haiti
Here's some local news videos of something cool that we got to witness here yesterday. MAF decided to send a new Kodiak aircraft they had ready to go to Indonesia to Haiti instead for the time being. It will join their other aircraft there to act as a vital link between the port au prince airport and the rural airstrips where many people are entirely cut off from the port city and basic things that they need. Many MAF pilots and mechanics will take turns rotating in to serve in Haiti. This is a unique privelege and opportunity that MAF takes advantage of when needed, to divert resources when needed in the event of natural disasters and crises, and is something that I am very excited to be a part of.
