I spent the last two days in Baton Rouge. This is what I saw.. I have never seen an airport that busy, it took me 35 minutes just to land, and a hour and a half to get aviation fuel, which was a $4.25 a gallon. There were fbi, fema, military, and so many charter jet companies I can't list em all, on top of that there were tons of helicopters of all kinds. Anyway, I got a chance to talk to lots of people. A game warden sat down next to me at a table and was telling me how is partner had been shot that morning in their boat by some dudes who tried to STEAL their boat. He said he shot and killed both of them and just left them floating in the water. At the other end of my table was a Captain in the Army, from Ft. Hood, Blackhawk pilot. He told me they have orders not to land in the city because of shots being fired, and told us of one example where a chopper was being shot at, a blackhawk, and the guys returned fire with a SAW... The word is that they are just shooting them now cause it has gotten to that point, prolly why the military is being called in there to try and establish some order. All of them told me the same thing, that the only people left there are 99% Black, some ederly or stranded people, good people, but most of them are just thugs or bad people. Also, here is some food for thought on the PROTECT Yourselves subject... The prison in Nola is empty, and the prisoners are running loose. I personally was in Shrevreport this morning for fuel and took a taxi into town for lunch, saw two dudes in prison outfits walkin down the street..... All in all, this situation is much worse than you are seeing on tv. But I know that my company is doing everthing it can to get the fuel flowing again. Almost half of the refinerys in nola are XXXXX owned. 90% of the oil platforms in the gulf are either destroyed or out of service, and most of the pipelines going from the platforms to nola, and other towns on the coast are also destroyed. They are now trying to pump the good stuff out of nola to other towns to salvage quite a bit for the fuel hungry public. And from what I'm being told by company people, the prices are going to keep going up for some time... Sorry this is so long, just wanted to rant.. And to BOWHUNTR6PT, good luck down there and God Bless.
