:arrow: Flight Coverage of Haitian Earthquake Relief
Air transport is the best means by which to get much-needed aid into Haiti after a devastating earthquake. With scores of aircraft trying to get in, we provide continuous coverage of what’s been heading their way, and the challenges that are faced in helping millions in their recovery.
Nice coverage Phil. Also the French Air Force A310, a few USAF C-130s and C-17s, and a USCG C-130 were at the Port Au Prince airport.

Listing in the article updated earlier this morning.
I have some airport pix from MTPP my parents took for me on one of their Missionary trips to Port Au Prince, Haiti. If I can find them I will post them.

WOuld love to see that Senga.
An El Al Cargo 742? Wow, I would love to see that. That is pretty poignant for us, seeing the direct heritage of my children help each other out.
Looks like another El Al 742 en route from JFK.
I think the El Al currently in route is still the first and only one so far. It's just that they have registered the flight plan many hours ago, so it sat in the listing as planned.
I thought someone on the blue site had mentioned that there were in fact 2 freighters that would be attending....... What are the German's going to be bringing in? I heard someplace that we would see a German A310.
I just looked at flightaware, as I am a tool and really dont know how to follow AC.
I thought it was an El Al 777 listed. unless El Al is sending a pair of a/c down there.
Nonetheless, still proud to see our kid's descendants unified.
What an incredible sight that air strip must be.
I would imagine it will be all 742 action from ElAl. I have read that they are bringing in a pretty impressive field hospital. It really is impressive to see the way the world is mobilizing though for Haiti. Even some of the lesser fortuneate nations with many a hardship to their own country are chipping in on a grand scale. As it is now it might be a bigger world contingant than what was seen for the Tsunami in 2004?
Ryan, where did you read that? Sounds interesting, like an Orbis
