One problem, apparently, is the current shortage of commercial cargo
planes.  According to a recent N.Y. Times story, the demand for such
planes is so high right now that relief operations for Hugo disrupted
a lot of schedules, and even then they couldn't get as many planes
as they wanted for the relief effort.  (Note:  I am talking about
civilian planes; the military wanted to charter them.)
