Description
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, a lot of Hoosiers are working to help storm victims to our south.
That includes a group of pilots delivering donations to North Carolina.
At Columbus Municipal Airport, air traffic has had a big boost since Sunday, Sept. 29.
That's when a plea for help with Helene took off right away, bringing a fleet of volunteers to the runway.
"We first saw the Facebook post probably like everyone else on social media," airport director Brian Payne said. "Then, it started getting shared like crazy."
"They were asking for pilots, and so I called 'em up," Evansville pilot Jules Mominee said. "I've got a real simple philosophy: 'When everybody helps everybody, everybody gets ahead.'"
