Angel Flight

Just joined Angel Flight West out of KSMO. I do not have the TT to become a command pilot but for a noble cause would love to help out and sit right seat. If anyone does Angel Flight out of Santa Monica and I could tag along that would be great! I work at KVNY and am pretty flexible with my schedule.

Thanks,
Darren
 
I've been a member of Angel Flight for about 3 years. Haven't had the opportunity to do much with the organization, unfortunately. I don't have my own aircraft and just haven't been able to connect w/ anyone looking for a right-seater.

Nevertheless, I remain patient and at some point I'll either have my own plane or find someone who needs my right-seat services.
 
I have a couple Angel Flights to my credit. All right seat with older gentlemen just looking for someone to help them out. Truth be told, when we were flying and saying/hearing "Angel Flight xxxxx," it really didn't cross my mind what I was doing. However, when I had the chance to sit back and reflect on what actually took place, I had a sense of pride I have not felt for quite some time. Here I was, doing something I love, yet helping an individual hopefully live a better life by the services we were providing.

Hopefully you will get the chance to experience that as well.
 
That's really cool dude!

Certainly something I'd like to do later on (I don't think they'd want a student pilot, haha).
 
I'd like to get there as well, but sadly I need a bit more time and some steady income before I can make that kind of commitment.

Although, with Alpha Eta Rho, I did get our chapter to host a charity poker run for Angel Flight Mid Atlantic. We had a paltry turn out of 6 aircraft, but with their fees and our sponsorships, we did raise about $1k for AFMA!
