General Aviation Mobilizes To Help Bahamas
After the then-Category 5 storm left a trail of destruction through the islands, small aircraft are now beginning to shuttle in humanitarian supplies.

As Hurricane Dorian churns further north after making landfall this morning near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, many in the general aviation community are looking to support relief missions to parts of the Bahamas such as Grand Bahama Island and the Abacos that experienced “generational devastation" from the Category 5 storm that lingered over the islands for two days. At its worst, Grand Bahama was more than 60 percent submerged, leaving structures at its main airport in Freeport in shambles. More than 30 deaths have been reported, and early calculations estimate damage of $7 billion to the islands.
