On 10/7, Carley will be speaking to us about Public Benefit Flying. Public benefit flying organizations utilize the unique capabilities of General Aviation aircraft to lend a hand whenever rapid and safe air transportation is needed to serve the public. Every day, volunteer pilots across the United States are serving the needs of humanity. Using their own aircraft, and donating their time, hard-earned skills, and all flight expenses, they assist the health and well being of others. Many provide access to distant medical care for patients in need. They relocate animals to better homes or better habitats; fly to support environmental initiatives; offer unique flight experiences to children; respond to natural disasters; and fly to support our veterans. Some examples of Public Benefit Flying include: PilotsNPaws, Dream Flights, Angel Flight, & Operation Airdrop.
Are you looking for ways to give back to your aviation or local community? Public Benefit Flying might be the adventure you're looking for.
