Flying Again

I forgot to write sooner that we once again have insurance that the DAC recognizes, and they've issued the paperwork. By noon on Friday the guys were flying again, with four planes out. Things were backing up so much that on Thursday, we had Atur and Aereo Regional, two local operators, do a flight each for us. Darryl and Dale both flew yesterday. Darryl was the regular on-call pilot, and Dale flew to help catch up on things a bit, especially since there were three very sick emergency patients waiting for flights. Darryl is out again today. He started early, then was held up by some bad weather, and is now out again this afternoon. He's got a couple snake bit victims to pick up, one of them not doing well at all. I'm glad we're insured again and able to fly, because if we weren't, the snake bit victims have no other options.
