Lollie,Great to hear from you and thank you for the well wishes. We've been frantically getting cargo loaded, transported and into the system for proper deployment into the field which should take place on Monday. We did just receive a bit of disheartening news; two of the three helicopters we need are grounded until parts arrive from Louisiana. This could take up to a week or more. We'll be able to do some work with the fixed-wing planes, but no helo support for several days.
Tell your class hello from the ice!
