Who do we fly? The children and families we transport must demonstrate a financial hardship or other compelling human or medical need, and a medical release from the doctor for flight. The person must be in a stable medical state, and able to board the aircraft unassisted (unless disabled). We are not an air ambulance service. No medical equipment or personnel are on board. For minors, there must be at least one parent or guardian to accompany the child in flight. There is no charge to the family for transport.
The same requirements listed above apply for healthcare camps and make-a-wish flights. Make-a-wish flights are coordinated through the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
We also fly in support of Angel Flight West, and The Corporate Angel Network Organizations.

Where do we fly? Our aircraft is based at the Hayward Executive Airport in California. We fly to the airport that is closest to the patient for pick-up, and transport them to their destination. We can serve destinations within 600 miles of the Hayward Airport. Our normal area of service is California, Nevada, and Oregon. Our services are for low income families or for those in financial hardship and provided free of charge.
What aircraft do we fly? Currently we fly a Cessna 182 aircraft that can carry two passengers. We are fundraising to acquire our own twin-engine Beechcraft "King Air". It seats up to 6 passengers. The aircraft is pressurized for those on medications that require it, and it has room for a wheelchair and a stretcher, and is capable of making non-stop flights to the destinations within our service area. Please see the "Updates/Photos" page for more benefits of the King Air aircraft.
Who does the flying? Our designated, qualified and experienced Chief Pilot under the supervision of the Federal Aviation Administration and our Board of Directors.
