Description

Greatest Charity Outreach In The History of Air Cargo
Slowly in the U.S. people are getting together, although, in some quarters the feeling continues to prevail that the risk of COVID is still there, so maybe better to lay low.
That's not good at all for some people anxious to get back to life, as they try to help others.
Recently a cargo fundraiser by Lufthansa Cargo at ORD during of all things, a Christmas Party (remember those?), brought to mind Cargo Human Care headed up by Fokko Doyen. CHC with love at its heart, stands today as the greatest charity effort by anybody in air cargo,
Trumpeting progress at the biggest airport for the greatest city in the world is, at best, a dicey proposition. Kindly consider and never forget all traffic at JFK International Airport comes and goes like toothpaste being squeezed through the tiny opening in the tube better known as Van Wyck Expressway. Until someone comes up with a better overland alternative, or launches a cargo water taxi, or comes up with something more than the pathetic and nearly totally useless roadway system in and out of JFK, building for air cargo at that airport is more like a dead heat on a merry-go-round.
This edition includes our traditional "A Christmas Story" recalling the blessings of a Christmastide past.
