Colorado Civil Air Patrol Delivers Crucial PPE To Rural Hospitals

(CBS4) -- The Colorado Civil Air Patrol is flying over 700 pounds of personal protective equipment to a rural Colorado hospital in Walsenburg. The PPE was provided by Project C.U.R.E.

The plane took off at 7 a.m. Friday from Centennial Airport.

Colorado pilots have been flying these missions almost every day during the pandemic -- the most recent was to deliver 300 pounds of PPE to Meeker, on the Western Slope.

They've made a huge difference in the fight against coronavirus in places outside of the metro area.
