Final Approach
This may not apply to you, but it may, or it may apply to folks you know.
Gustav is gonna hit the coast in a day or so, likely as a Cat 5 Hurricane. It looks like evacuations are starting early.
If you have an airplane in harm's way - please check with your insurance. Most policies will cover the cost of getting your airplane out of the area.
This isn't a sales pitch - I just hate to see good airplanes destroyed. So if you or someone you know needs their airplane moved, PLEASE post in this thread some details of the plane type and situation.
There are many commercial pilots with a huge range of experience in this online community. While I can't speak for them, I will be willing to ferry any airworthy airplanes out of the danger area at no charge beyond my expenses to get the plane and to get home (I'll eat my normal fees and take vacation from my day job to make it work) Same deal goes if you need an instrument-rated copilot.
Additionally, after the event, there may be a need for pilot services to help with relief efforts. If there's a situation where volunteer pilots can be of assistance, please post here as well.
Best wishes and luck to all those affected,
