National Network Of Volunteer Pilots Deliver Critical Aid Ahead Of Federal Response The Operation Airdrop disaster-response organization booth at SUN ’n FUN is recruiting pilots and corporate sponsors to help in their non-profit efforts to provide disaster relief with generation-aviation aircraft. Russ Keith, executive director of Operation Airdrop based in Lewisville, Texas, said, “We are the final mile of getting supplies to areas cut off after national disasters.” He said the group needs general aviation pilots and ground volunteers to help the organization with the mission. “We beat the state and federal disaster assets by eight to 10 days,” Keith said, because they are able to avoid federal bureaucratic red tape.
