You won't hear much on Hurricane Gustav here at PointNiner. The national media has it pretty well covered. The closure of the airports, the airlifting of evacuees, the Air Force delivering supplies, the damage to aircraft. All of these are great aviation-related stories, but right now PointNiner will just be sitting back and watching what happens. New Orleans is and always will be a very special town to me. I was born there, my family is from there, and I've always considered it my real home as I grew up all over the country. That's why I just want to see what happens for now. My thoughts and prayers go out to the citizens of this fine town and everyone on the Gulf Coast, whether they have evacuated or are trying to ride out the storm.
Good Luck, New Orleans and may Godspeed.
Here are a couple pics from a few months after Hurricane Katrina that I took. Hopefully, Gustav will have a bit more mercy.
That's me with a dumb look on my face at the 17th St Canal breach site.
Some tangled mess of an aircraft at Lakefront Airport.
