In the wake of Hurricane Helene, a group of civilians mounted an unprecedented helicopter rescue mission

that ended up eclipsing the government efforts in the region. To be honest, we expected to get,

what, 10, 15 helicopters? I expected it. Fine. In this episode, we talked to the co-founder of the effort

about how the mission was pulled off,

as well as their ongoing efforts.

We had over 100 helicopters.

We started running missions Monday morning, getting aid, and medicine, doing well checks, and even eggsfields.
