On Wednesday the RV-10 transformed into a cargo plane with the mission of delivering toys and clothes to the four corners area to children on the reservation. This was a Toys for Tots donation using the Angel Flight group.
I received an e-mail late Tuesday night that Angel Flight needed more planes and pilots to deliver toys to the Indian reservation so I made a quick call and was told to be at Salt Lake international at 7:00am.
There were approximately 20 planes that showed up. Most of the planes were four seat’ers like 182's, 185's, Cherokees, Bonanzas, and one PC-12. After a quick briefing we started loading. The temps were around 15 with a good wind blowing so loading went very quickly. So before I go much farther, here is the answer to how many toys an RV-10 can hold.
My friend Mark Patey showed up in his newly purchased RV-10 and we flew together from Salt Lake City to Bluff, UT (239 nm). Here we are on the ramp at Salt Lake loading the planes.
Mark brought two of his boys and they got to hold some gifts in the back. There were also three Marines that flew down to help unload and organize.
