Review for Veterans Airlift Command, Saint Louis Park, MN, USA
I love what VAC does, and I love it when I'm able to fly a mission for a veteran and/or a Vet's family. My last mission was a bust because of a mechanical issue with the plane and I felt really badly for having let them down. This was on December 26 and involved flying up to Northern Arkansas to pick up a Vet and his wife and fly them to San Antonio. They had originated in the morning near Chicago and were headed back to BAMC after a Christmas break. To make a long and somewhat technical story short, but mid morning, I realized the plane was never going to be able to make the trip and I called HQ to give them the bad news. They put out their equivalent of an APB and - incredibly - within 10 minutes had the leg covered! It is a complete testament to the organization, and the pilots that this type of quick reaction to a problem can be solved.
