   You can track incoming rescue flights to Port Au Prince via the Flighttrackers here:

   You’ll see the Fairfax VA search and rescue team coming in on the flight from Dulles, and there is even a rescue mission from Iceland via way of Boston. Many other smaller planes took off from Miami on missions today as well.

   Oh, and this one:

   A DC-3 from a missionary group in Florida. That plane is still making a difference.

   Maybe I should just write one comment offline instead of posting as I go. Oh well.

   Interesting bit here from the Military Communications Blog (i.e. the blog you go to to find out what is really going on in the world)

   http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/2010/01/cothen-hf-net-and-haiti-relief.html

   Heavy activity on Coast Guard frequencies, to be expected.

   Also some interesting posts here about ham traffic and other emergency comms coming out of Haiti being monitored by listening posts in Florida. Some have set up online streams so you can listen in yourself

   The MilCom bloggers are really over this one. Here is a great transcript of the monitoring they got from last night from one of their monitors in South Carolina.

   Some of those links provided have proven to be most valuable, even 2 weeks after the quake. Thank you.
