Default New Orleans Lakefront Airport

CNN video: NEW looks bad; partially under water. Heavy damage to most
buildings, particularly the large Millionaire FBO west of 18/36.

Wonder how long it will be before we make the $100 muffaletta trip to
Lakefront again--if indeed we ever do?

There is an AP story about the Federal disaster response. The FAA took
so much damage, that they are waiting for roads to clear before trucking
in new equipment.

Maybe, forever. In Charlotte County, Florida, Charley took out what is
estimated as the equivalent of ten years of the 2004 rate of new
construction.

I just go an email from Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic stating we may be
called to fly in supplies to the nearest suitable airport. Looks like I
may end up as part of the disaster response.

Just in from AFW: "I just recently was notified that AFSC and AFSE are
presently flying rescue workers into the impacted areas."

I hope you have the time and get the chance to go help out Michelle. I'll
thank you in advance for alot of folks who would like to, but won't get the
chance to thank you in person. I encourage anyone who can help in any way no
matter how big or small to please do so. We will have to help ourselves and
our neighbors,...can't expect on much help from anywhere else.

I haven't heard this from AFSE. They have a couple of missions for
stranded refugees, but that's it.

Took the brunt of the bigger storm surges. The Bay St. Louis bridge is
gone. The Biloxi-Ocean Springs bridge is severely damaged. US 90 is
damaged and impassable.

Gulfport is totally trashed, Rocky.

BFM has some more hangar damage, looks mostly ok. The tower is working.
The airspace is closed by TFR.
