VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Members of the Military Aviation Museum partnered with the Virginia Beach Fire Department to deliver supplies to Hurricane Helene victims in Mountain City, Tennessee Thursday morning.

According to VBFD, it is an area in dire need of baby formula, diapers, and more. The museum and firefighters loaded 5,000 of the over 20,000 pounds of supplies for Thursday's trip in the museum's plane, with the rest of the supplies planning to be delivered over the next few days.

Earlier this week, the museum packed a vintage WWII airplane with donated supplies to be delivered to those in Western North Carolina.
