A HELICOPTER pilot who flew to Haiti to airlift 10 Americans from the country has told Tribune columnist Diane Phillips of the night-time rescue – which included stops in Long Island and Nassau on the way home. Anthony “Tony” Marinello, who flies search and rescue and medical airlifts between The Bahamas and South Florida hospitals was recruited to fly the mission alongside a fellow pilot, as well as US Congressman Cory Mills and a Special Forces security aide. They airlifted 10 people, part of the Have Faith Haiti Mission and Orphanage, including author Mitch Albom, who has run the orphanage since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The helicopter landed at night under fear of gunfire, but overloaded with 14 people on board, it had to make stops at Stella Maris and Nassau on the return flight.
