Operation Airdrop

Day three of EAA AirVenture is in the books—what an incredible day it was!

We welcomed a strong turnout at the Operation Airdrop booth, connected with dedicated new volunteers ready to support future disaster-relief missions, and continued building partnerships that will strengthen our ability to respond when communities need us most.

Every conversation, new volunteer, and partnership helps Operation Airdrop stay ready to mobilize when roads are impassable and critical supplies must get through.

Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, donors, and supporters for making this a show to remember. Together, we deliver hope.

If you’re at EAA AirVenture this week, stop by booth #379 to say hello.

Operation BBQ Relief has deployed to Batesville, Texas, to serve hot meals — and hope — to families and first responders affected by the recent floods.

They're looking for volunteers to support this important mission. If you're able to help them out, please follow the instructions in their original post or register through the Operation BBQ Relief volunteer app.

We are grateful to the entire Operation BBQ Relief team for stepping up to support Texas communities during this difficult time. When disaster strikes, it takes all of us working together to help our neighbors recover.

Please head over there and give them a like, a comment, and a follow to help spread the word.

Our mission is powered by volunteer pilots, ground teams, donors, sponsors, and community partners who believe general aviation can make a difference when roads are washed out, communities are cut off, and critical supplies need to move fast.

Follow Operation Airdrop to see how general aviation supports disaster relief—and share this post to help more communities, pilots, volunteers, donors, and partners learn how they can join our mission.

We Deliver Hope. ✈️💙

When disaster strikes, the first 24 to 72 hours matter most.

Roads wash out. Bridges fail. Power goes out. Families can be cut off from food, water, medical supplies, and other essentials. That is why readiness matters.

Because of supporters like you, Operation Airdrop was ready in 2025, flying 138 missions and delivering more than 133,000 pounds of critical supplies to communities affected by the Texas Hill Country Floods, Typhoon Halong, Hurricane Melissa, and the recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene.

That kind of response begins before the storm makes landfall.

For just $1 a day, you can help Operation Airdrop stay ready year-round by preparing volunteer pilots, ground teams, staging locations, and logistics for the next call for help.

Become a monthly donor today to help us deliver hope when roads are blocked and communities are cut off.
