• In 2010, local KEET pilots flew to the Gulf Coast to support businesses affected by the massive oil spill.

    As part of the 2011 SCAA Memorial Charity Flight, those same businesses along the coast are now helping Alabamians impacted by the recent storms with a huge donation drive & media blitz.

    What began as an effort to provide the children of the storms with stuffed animals has grown to include current specific needs for all of the victims. Check updated posts at right--->

More info for participants

Last Saturday’s organizers’ meeting produced a few more specifics for the event:

  • There will be a $5 per person donation collected at registration to cover ground transportation, ready and waiting for us when we arrive at JKA in Gulf shores.
  • Local pilots can participate in the event no matter what airport they fly out of.
  • Since we’ll be bringing back as many of the donated items as possible, please bring these items with you-
    • big plastic garbage bags
    • portable scale if you have one
  • Whatever cannot fit or puts us over weight for the return trips will be picked up later in the week by some of the group driving down in a van or truck.
  • We are still determining the best way to distribute collected items- the organizers are in process of identifying local contacts in the more isolated areas devastated by the tornadoes.
