If someone calls for service (from Cortez), he or she will get the same treatment as if there was a pilot from out of these parts. A pilot can fly in from Albuquerque, Denver or Phoenix to pick up people (in Cortez or Durango) who may need special care.
I want to get to people who can personally get to those who need our help. That's my goal.
It's a lost art in our society to help others to this extent. Our pilots use their own planes and fuel to serve those with certain (conditions).
The joy you get from helping other people is hard to come by. Once you're involved with Angel Flight, it becomes infectious.
To my knowledge, we've never turned down a flight to anyone who qualified.
