Crash changes life for Logan Flood

Logan Flood, center, was honored with the Seward Rotary Club’s Wayne Tanderup Award. Pictured are, from left, Rotary President Brian Friedrich, Gavin, Logan and Andrea Flood and Rotarian Alan Baldwin. "The Logan Flood Story" is reprinted with permission from Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. The flight that would so alter Logan Flood's life was supposed to be an unremarkable, early morning cargo run. The trip from Lincoln, Nebraska, to rural Valentine in a Beech 58 Baron took place every Wednesday morning, and for Silverhawk Aviation flight crews, the delivery of medical supplies meant a 5:30 a.m. departure into the cold, winter darkness for a relatively short 90 minutes of flight pay. But for Flood, then a flight instructor, the trip was another step toward his goal of becoming a corporate or airline pilot. Wednesday, September 08, 2010
