Paul Marshal, et al
Brief Description:
The California DART Network (CalDART) organizes California’s pilots to safely help their communities respond to disaster through its Disaster Airlift Response Teams (DARTs) located throughout the state. For COVID-19, CalDART launched Operation Medical Shield (OMS), helping front line workers get their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) even when their main sources of supply ran out, or when their thinly funded organizations could not afford them. Flights have delivered PPE all around California and as far away as Walla Walla, Washington. In OMS, CalDART developed new Flight Medical Safety practices to keep people safe from viral infection.
Paul Marshall co-founded the DART at E16 in 2010 at the CalPilots SCAPA Subchapter, and incorporated CalDART as a wholly owned subsidiary of CalPilots in 2018, serving as CalDART President. He also flies medical staff to a free clinic in Mexico with LIGA International in his Bonanza A36. Ed Story is a Board Member of CalPilots and founding member of CalDART, serving as its Secretary. Ron Lovick serves on CalDART’s Board, is the Executive Director of San Diego CalDART and has been a leader of Operation Medical Shield.
