Here's a heartwarming article about more Angel Flight pilots who volunteer their time, money and aircraft to help others in need.
From the article: "Angel Flight West, was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Santa Monica. In its first year, roughly a dozen pilots flew 15 missions. Now the organization boasts 1,600 registered volunteers, whose work includes flying patients to hundreds of medical facilities in small aircraft they either own or rent. Angel Flight West’s service area is vast, encompassing most of the Western United States, from Wyoming to Hawaii. Despite the relatively small percentage of the United States’ population with pilot’s licenses, Angel Flight West receives a lot of support. The roughly 350 volunteer pilots with the organization’s Northern California “Wing” flew over 688 missions last year".
