Angel Flight

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

I cannot remember who it was on this list that advised against using Angel Flight, but I feel that I must respond.

They are a reputable agency who provides their services FREE for those in need. As far as any safety concerns, I can say that I have found them to be OVERcautious - which I think is wonderful. The only "problem" I've ever had ( & they've flown me all up & down the east coast several times) with them has involved having to reschedule due to the pilots being very conscientous. So this wasn't really a "problem" IMO.

In addition, it is a Christian orgainization. These people will pray for you - even if you don't ask. And the pilots are wonderful. My last flight with them was postponed due to the weather, which would have meant I'd have to stay in a motel a few more nights (which I generally try to prepare for "just in case"). The pilots all chipped in & flew my dd & I home on a commercial airline. I'd NEVER flown commercial & my first pilot stayed in contact with me & the airports until I made it home - just to be sure we were ok. He even called ahead to make sure they'd have a w/c waiting on me. Oh, & did I mention they provide their services - their time, planes, maintenance, & fuel - for FREE. We've always been treated with respect & they've always done anything in their power to make us comfortable.

In all honesty, comparing the experiences of commercial v/s small aircraft, I'd rather fly in the small aircraft. By the time you deal with the layovers in commercial travel, the faster engines don't make any difference. You are still on a plane for the same amount of time. Furthermore, if I did NOT utilize this service, I'd never have been able to have my last surgery, which means that at best, I'd still be bedfast & in a wheelchair on very, very good days. No thanks - I'll stick with Angel Flight.

Blessings,
