Subject: Request: 100,000 N95 masks to Eugene OR Saturday for Firefighters

?

Fellow Pilots:

CalDART requests assistance from IFR pilots for a flight Saturday to Eugene Oregon to help Fire Fighters and other front line workers who are using up their KN95 face masks due to all the days of smoke. CalDART is answering the call for assistance from Direct Relief, America’s largest supplier of free donated medical supplies (see directrelief.org). They have called upon us to transport 100,000 KN95 masks and assorted tubs of medical supplies and a couple of passengers to Eugene (KEUG) Oregon on Saturday, originating from Santa Barbara (KSBA), California. Normally, commercial shipment is adequate for their needs, but for this operation, they have requested our volunteer air support. It will be helpful for us to have a larger operation like this to build our response capabilities.

?

Here is the current description of the operation, with more details to be filled in this week: Something like 10 to 20 flights from Santa Barbara to Eugene will be needed, depending on the type and capacity of planes responding, and some trial loadings our Santa Barbara pilots are doing tomorrow and Friday. IFR Pilots will have the choice of flying the entire route, or choosing the Southern Half or the Northern Half. The Southern Half will consist of flying from Santa Barbara to the home base of the pilot flying the Northern Half, where that home base is south of Chico and likely in the Bay Area or Sacramento area. Pilots may work out alternate handoff arrangements if agreed to by both pilots. A transfer point has also been arranged at the Sonoma Jet Center (KSTS) for pilots coming down from Oregon who need a spot to rendezvous with SoCal pilots coming north. Participating California pilots will need to be CalDART members and submit the required intake information to CalDART Flight Operations. We ask interested pilots to reply to me on this email with their indication of interest. Pilots should indicate whether they are available to fly the whole route, only the Northern Half, only the Southern Half, and whether they are willing to take passenger(s) in a flight where all occupants where masks (including the pilot). Pilots whose offers are accepted will need to submit a variety of documentation regarding insurance, pilot certificate, and the like. Pilots who have already participated in Operation Medical Shield will keep their flight authorization for Saturday’s flight without having to submit more documentation. The 1 or 2 passengers to be flown will need roundtrip transportation Saturday, so their pilots need to be ok with flying both halves in a single day. Southern Half pilots are encouraged to get an early start so that the Northern Half pilots can get back home well before sunset. We will be operating a service desk on the ramp at Santa Barbara, checking in pilots, providing them their cargo/passengers, and sending their departure time to Flight Ops, and Eugene. Pilots pairing with another pilot should communicate in the morning to confirm rendezvous time, place, and alternate airport information.

?

The cargo will mostly be kn95 face masks, 70 tubs worth, 33.3 pounds each, 30.4”L x 20.3”W x 15.0” H, approx. 1400 masks per tub. Information on the additional tubs will be forthcoming. Information on passenger weights and their baggage will be forthcoming. Planes with passengers will have a requirement for all people to wear a mask including the pilots. Masks will also be required out on the ramp and in the FBO at Santa Barbara, Eugene, and the transfer point for pilots coming from Oregon.

?

FBO Information: The FBO at Santa Barbara is Signature aviation. Authorized pilots will be given a window sign and further instructions on where to park and load. We expect the ramp to be open from 8:00AM until the last pilot has loaded somewhere around noon to 2:00PM. Pilots who decide to use the transfer point at the Sonoma Jet Center in Santa Rosa should let CalDART Flight Ops know so that they can have your goodie bag waiting for you. We are still working on the FBO details for Eugene.

?

The weather has been smoky in Eugene for several days, with visibility near IFR minimums. The ILS at KEUG has the best minimums, followed closely by the GPS approach. There is a weak storm forecast to arrive tomorrow and Friday, with a little bit of showers likely Saturday as well. So, if the rain and wind clear out the smoke, the weather may be an issue. All responding pilots should be IFR rated/current/ready in the plane they will be flying Saturday. Even if they are only flying the Southern Half, smoke result in IMC on the way. Don’t forget to have an alternate ready in Oregon and central California with extra gas, and think about its likelihood to be resistant to smoke and weather. Pilots at Santa Barbara will be given KN95 masks for themselves and for the next flight if they are just flying the Southern Half. These KN95 masks may help reduce irritation due to forest fire smoke in the cabin. Be sure to navigate around the TFRs that are in effect between Santa Barbara and Eugene.

?

CalDART is taking this opportunity to request donations which can be provided at caldart.org at the Join/Renew page, or the Donate page. Our expenses have exceeded donations and membership revenue by about $9,500 this year, and we would appreciate generous donations from those who can give and who feel we are doing good things. To donate, visit the Donate/Friend page at caldart.org.

?

We need a couple more people to volunteer to work in flight operations for this event. Flight operations people do intake on volunteering pilots, put together load plans for each aircraft, send pilot rosters to the participating airports, check on flight progress to verify that each flight has completed and the pilot is home safe. We work remotely with Google Documents.

?

A reminder, if you are interested, please reply email to me and indicate:

·???????? Yes, you’re interested

·???????? What type of plane you have

·???????? Confirm you are IFR rated/current/ready in the plane you will fly

·???????? Are you willing to fly the Southern Half, Northern Half, or entire route?

·???????? Is it ok to carry passenger(s) and wear masks in the plane?

·???????? Are you willing to assist with Flight Operations?

?

Thank you and best regards,

?

?

Hello Everyone….

Well… we’re almost there. On Tuesday, September 8, 2020 we begin the process of making aviation and Post Office history. ?If all goes according to plan, Christopher Freeze, flying a Cessna 182 (N610DB), and?Warren Morningstar and Keith West flying AOPA's Beech Bonanza camera plane (N4GA) will depart Farmingdale, NY’s Republic Airport sometime shortly after 7 AM. Their destination is Bellefonte, PA. They won’t be landing exactly where Randolph Page, flying US Mail plane No. 102, set down 100 years ago. ?Tom Beaver’s farm field is now part of the city, but the town fathers did build a nice airport south and west of the town. Labeled N96 on pilot sectional maps, it will be the focal point of a larger community celebration honoring the 100th anniversary of transcontinental airmail service. ?Bellefonte enjoys the honor of being the US Post Office’s first airfield west of New York as it expanded from its Long Island base towards Cleveland, OH in late 1918. ?It is also home to the American Philatelic Society Museum, which includes a collection of air mail memorabilia. Messrs Freeze, Morningstar and West are slated to arrive around 9:40 or so. You’ll be able to follow their progress on the??website under the Flight Follow tab. Waiting form them is slated to be Gene Salvatore as primary pilot and Jonathan Still as backup for the next leg of the relay.

Attached below?is the current slate of volunteer pilots.

After Bellefonte, comes Geauga County Airport in Middlefield, OH, another small community airport, but also with delightful celebratory plans. ?From there, the next pilot(s) head for Bryan, OH and its Williams County Airport… and so on. ?By the end of Day One, the relay will overnight in Joliet, IL. ?Next morning, it’s off to Iowa City, and Omaha, and North Platte, and….a forecast freak early September snow storm over the Rockies. It could be our first schedule disruption. The last thing we want is for any of our pilots to run into icing conditions. ?We’re working on a couple contingency plans, including driving the mail from North Platte or Ogallala, NE to Cheyenne, WY so it’ll be there for the Thursday morning departure.?

In a strange way, it would be almost historically appropriate to have one leg of the relay be by surface transport. This often is how the Post Office got the mail through when a plane was forced down: the pilot put it on the first train headed in the right direction. That was also the advantage of?following railroads at the time.

Hopefully the weather will improve by Thursday and Kent, Craig, Larry, Bruce and Mike will have VFR all the way to Carson City, NV. ?

Day four is really starting to shape up to be exciting. ?John?Sawatzky and Stephen Tucker, our key event?‘wrangler’ in the Bay Area will be picking up the mail in Carson City in his Cessna 182 Skylane (N91591). Crossing the Sierras over Lake Tahoe, they will be met at Sacramento’s Mather Airport by possibly several pilots, the lead mail plane - Cessna P210 (N210SL) - ?flown by Steve Isaacs. Due to possible marine fog and the need to reset the arrival schedule back 45 minutes, the mail will be arriving at Buchanan Airport (CCR) about 10:30AM local time. ?The planes will park in front of Pacific States Aviation?facility in Concord, CA and at 10:45 the BeechBoys formation flying group will do a?“missing man” formation flyover to honor the memory of the 34 US Post Office air mail pilots and mechanics who lost their lives between 1918 and 1926. ?PSA is offering food and beverages to the pilots and any dignitaries and media that attend. ?

Around 12:30-1:00 pm, the mailbags with the commemorative postcards the pilots collected along the route of the relay will be driven to Martinez Marina on the Sacramento River. ?There they will be loaded on Seaplane Adventure’s () DeHavilland DHC-8?‘Beaver’ float plane for the last few air miles to the shore of Marina Green just east of the Golden Gate Bridge and site of the original landing in 1920. ?There at 2:30 pm, we will?“officially” hand-over the mailbags to San Francisco’s postmaster ?or his representative. From there, the postcards will be driven to the main San Francisco Post Office to be postmarked with the commemorative stamp the USPS had made for the occasion. ?

NOTICE: ?Due to Covid-19 restrictions we cannot invite the public to the Marina Green event. It is restricted to Post Office and AirMail100 delegates and any media who care to attend.

So, keep your fingers crossed! ?We have hopes the San Francisco Fire Department fire-fighting tugs will let go with their water canons, and the US Coast Guard will give us some blasts on their ship’s horn.

If?you can. Join Us. Make History.

Bill
