Airlift photos from staging area

First flight this morning taking off from Oconoluftee Overlook to the Lodge. They are transporting the ground crew and internal load of supplies to the Lodge. They will set down for this load. After that they will not set down again at the Lodge until they pick up the ground crew. 

Middle photo: some of the supplies heading to the lodge.

Bottom photo: One of the first loads of the day. They got in a good day of flying but rain and winds moved in so they have stopped for the day. They will try again tomorrow.   Will post some more photos and updates tomorrow.
