Spent the last two days making calls and pulling some favors, but three of us got a bird on loan and donated fuel and we're packing her out to max takeoff weight with donated supplies, food, etc.

We got a PPR (a temporary landing permit) for KAVL (Asheville) and will be received by known folks there, not govt. Once off loaded, we depart for Nashville to overnight and reload, that load goes to KTYS (Knoxville). Once done, we'll head back home.

It'll be a long day tomorrow (at the shop at 4am local), and will return to Houston on Friday afternoon, but worth it.
