Angel Flight West Northern California is hosting its Wing Fly-in Event at the PJTF Learning Center
Flying towards hope on the wings of an angel
When someone’s transportation needs are critical, organizations both large and small know they can depend on Angel Flight. A small child, ravaged by cancer, needs specialized lifesaving treatment at a hospital 300 miles away. A father, separated from his family by a hurricane, wants desperately to be reunited. A domestic-violence survivor longs to start a new life in another city, but cannot afford to leave. These are just a few of the people to whom Angel Flight offer help and hope.
There is an angel in the cockpit.
The ability to travel easily across the country is something that most of us take for granted. But for those whose lives are in turmoil, the financial, physical, and emotional burdens can make ordinary trips extraordinarily difficult. That’s when they turn to Angel Flight West. Its network of 1,400+ volunteer pilots fly their own planes and pay for all costs out of their own pockets, in order to make these critical journeys. The beneficiaries of the flight – the passengers and their families, the healthcare organizations – pay nothing at all, ever.
They are there when a need arises.
Angel Flights has earned the trust and respect of a long list of organizations – large research hospitals, children’s hospitals, VA hospitals, specialized treatment centers, and small rural healthcare centers… children’s protective services, and domestic violence shelters… special camps for children with medical needs.
