Angel Flight/Challenge Air
 
We have begun planning for our fly-kids event in January, partnering with Challenge Air. Jim Steenson, a retired Air Traffic Controller and volunteer mission coordinator has volunteered to be the Air Boss for the event, and I will be the Chief Pilot. Thanks Jim!

This is a crazy, but fun day. We are looking for pilots to take kids and their families on a 15-minute flight, exposing them to aviation and empowering them by hopefully taking the controls of the aircraft, even though they may have a disability that keeps them from having a normal life on the ground. I have done a number of these as a pilot, and just like doing Angel Flight missions, it is very rewarding!
 
Please let us know if you can volunteer. We will have a morning and an afternoon shift on Saturday January 28 at the Fort Lauderdale Executive airport. Sign up at www.challengeair.org. or give me a call at (352) 326-0761 if you have any questions.

 
Sincerely,
Steve Purello
Angel Flight Southeast
