HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF

Hello Shiawassee community. I have coordinated with the Civilian Crisis Response Team out of Columbus, Indiana to collect relief supplies for those affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. The Crisis Team is a group of volunteer pilots and their aircraft airlifting supplies to those in need. 

We will be accepting donations now through Tuesday, October 8th. Drop off locations are the OWOSSO COMMUNITY AIRPORT terminal ( Mon-Fri 9a-5p) and JOE-LEE’S CROSSWINDS CAFE ( Sat-Sun 6a-2p) also located at the Owosso Community Airport. 

We will be driving the supplies to Columbus, IN on Wednesday, October 9th. The Crisis Team will fly the supplies to Hickory, NC airport (KHKY).  Helicopters will be standing by to fly supplies to those most in need. 

ITEMS REQUESTED 


And as always, MONEY 

Please do not bring items not on this list. We have to be cognizant of weight and size restrictions as these supplies will be airlifted to disaster areas. 

I know our aviation community and residents of Shiawassee county have big hearts. Let's come together and help those people in desperate need. 

We Can, We Will and We Rock! Any questions please contact MonaLisa through the Owosso Community Airport (989) 725-1969.

Why Fly?

Some call it pure joy. Others would tell you it’s the discovery and adventure. For some flyers, it’s about building new skills and opening new doors. And others will tell you it’s a way to give back; to help others. For some, flying isn’t just a hobby, it’s a profession. It’s an expression of freedom, others would say.

But no one could argue with the fact that flying is just plane fun.

One thing is for sure: While your love for flying is personal, it’s also universal. Enthusiasts around the world share the same burning passion for aviation, a collective obsession that’s at the beating heart of the Winds Air Flying Club.

Aviation takes us to places we’ve only ever dreamed of. Then it pushes us further, to places we could have never imagined. 

The Winds Air Flying Club is your opportunity to explore- explore new places, explore new skills, and explore the freedom of flight.
