If Charley Valera told you the organization he works for “can move anything from anywhere to anywhere,” you’d assume he worked for FedEx or UPS, but you wouldn’t even be close. Valera handles public relations for AERObridge, a US-based logistics group that provides air support using donated, mostly GA aircraft and crew to deliver supplies anywhere in the US during times of disaster. They’ll also work with 1,000 nm of the US.
