Benefit Others

Volunteer pilots serve their communities by flying search missions to find lost hikers, transporting sick patients for urgently needed medical care, transporting wounded veterans to visit their loved ones, delivering humanitarian aid following natural disasters, and even bringing rescued pets to loving homes. Thousands of AOPA members serve their communities, their country, and the world through volunteer flying. Whatever causes may interest you, there’s a charitable aviation organization seeking your help and support.
