As more Hurricane Helene relief supplies head to North Carolina, a pair of metro Atlanta flight students are lending a hand.

Skor said they have taken two trips, carrying about 250 pounds of supplies.

“We went out to Rutherford County North Carolina, east of Asheville, we unloaded and then flew back to Winston-Salem,” Skor said.

Gordon could see the damage from the plane.

“We saw a lot of downed trees, some houses that looked like they were destroyed,” he said.

Skor is part of a flying club at Riverwood. The seniors DJ, babysit and pick up other jobs to pay for their training and love of flying.

“We’re both working towards our commercial pilot’s license to eventually get our flight instructor certificates,” Gordon said.
