I am embedding a couple of videos for you from https://www.dvidshub.net (Hurricane Irma) showing aircraft and aircrews being deployed in support of Hurricane Irma relief missions.
In the first video by Staff Sgt. Traci Keller (60th Mobility Public Affairs) you will see two C-17 Globemaster III's take off on September 11th with supplies in support of Hurricane Irma relief efforts. One Globemaster is from Joint Base Charleston SC and the other is from Travis Air Force Base, California. Both are taking off from Travis Airforce Base.
In the second video, by Master Sgt. Philip Speck (123rd Airlift Wing Public Affairs), you will see twelve members of the Kentucky Air National Guard 123rd Airlift Wing evacuate U.S. citizens from the Dutch Caribbean Island of St. Maarten on September 9-10th. The Kentucky Air National Guard had two C-130 aircraft working with the New York Air Guards 106th Rescue Wing and the Puerto Rick Air Guards 156th Airlift wing evacuating over 1,028 U.S. Citizens from St. Maartens.
Here you will see some Seahawk Helicopters take off on September 11th from the USS Abraham Lincoln (which I believe was off the eastern Florida coast when this video was shot). The USS Abraham Lincoln is but one of the military assets working with the Department of Homeland Security providing Hurricane Irma relief missions. Video courtesy of Navy Media Content Services, video by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jeff Sherman.
Finally, you will see a video shot from a Coast Guard Aircraft out of Air Station Clearwater (FL) flying over flooded Jacksonville FL on September 11th, providing rescues of those stranded by the flooding if required. Rainfall from Irma lead to the flooding in Jacksonville, FL on September 11th .
