The aviation industry is full of great people, doing great things.

I might not have coined that phrase, but until someone comes forward and does, I will keep saying it. Even during these uncertain times…maybe more true today than ever before.

Sure. People in the industry are hurting. Many have been furloughed or laid-off or "encouraged" to retire. Planes are being retired to the deserts of Arizona and California. They don’t go there to “retire”, they go there to die. A sad site indeed. The future is cloudy at best. The wizards of smart are claiming that 2020 is the worst year in aviation history.

Maybe, but maybe this is also the best moment in aviation history.

 Monitoring via manned-aircraft one million+ acres of pristine borderlands desert which includes, but is not limited to:

• Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
• Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge
• Sanora Desert National Monument
• Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge 

Monitor/Track and document five endangered species which include:

• Pronghorn Antelope
• Desert Bighorn Sheep
• Jaguar
• Ocelot
• Mexican Gray Wolf

 Every day, thousands of men and women wake up and go about their business. The business of protecting endangered species. The business of guarding threatened habitats. The business of ending illegal fishing. The business of holding the line against evil and ignorance.
