There is nothing more special than being able to use something you love for a good cause. Transporting patients in need of medical care to appointments in far-off places via general aviation is one of those good causes. Angel Flight is one of many organizations around the country that matches pilots with patients, and makes these flights possible.
The principle of Angel Flight is simple. Getting access to the best medical care is critical, and nothing is better at this than a pilot and an airplane. But if you live in rural Vermont and need to get to Boston to see the right doctor, driving to each appointment could snuff out any ideas of seeking the best care. Angel Flight pilots donate their time, money, and airplane for the opportunity to give someone who needs it the best shot at the proper medical care.
The Angel Flight name refers to a series of independent regional organizations, each with slightly different requirements and needs. Requirements may range from an instrument rating to 250 hours of flight time.
