| Angel Flight in the headlines | |
Thanks to FATA, Jenny Showalter and Cindy Kulp for the great article.
.....and an AOPA article about Angel Flight Southeast receiving the Healthcare for Heroes Award. Channel 6 Orlando coverage from last night: Is there anyone out there that recorded the show and can send us a link to the video? Even I missed it! Email me please: steve.purello@mercymail.org | |
Transplant for a two-year old!
Special thanks to Dr. Roode, who heard from us at 2:30am on Monday morning to fly a mission from Jacksonville to Miami International. Unfortunately, the transpant did not take place, so we are geared up and ready to fly her again when the call comes in!

Florida fuel & FBO discounts now published-
fixed the links..sorry
Let's face it. Fuel has been making the cost of flying "sky-high" these days! Your team at HQ has been working hard to get discounts at the places you fly into, and publish them for frugal flight planning. Enjoy!

| $1.00 per gallon rebate on missions! |
Angel Flight Southeast is proud to work with Phillips 66 to offer a great benefit to our pilots; a $1 rebate AFTER their Angel Flight discount at Phillips FBOs! More....
Phillips 66® Aviation is committed to supporting pilots that volunteer their time and aircraft to charities that provide free air transportation to patients whose financial resources would not otherwise enable them to receive medical treatment or diagnosis, or who may live in rural areas without access to commercial airlines. These charities also provide a vital mode of transportation for organs, blood and for patients awaiting organ transplants. As a proud supporter of pilots that fly compassion flights organized by eligible charitable organizations, we provide a $1-per-gallon avgas rebate to help support the pilots who unselfishly donate their time and aircraft so that children and adults may access life saving medical care free of charge.
fixed the links..sorry

| 6 Hours of free training! | |
Jim Hendricks of Naples Flight Simulator Center has a very special offer for Angel Flight pilots:
This will be limited to one pilot per month.
Jim would like to offer 6 hours of dual instruction in either a simulator or ground school!
Use those hours for your next IPC, BFR, towards a new rating, or any other skills training you'd like; no strings attached.
Thanks very much to Jim for this very generous offer!
To qualify, we'll be doing a drawing of any pilot who has volunteered for a mission in the month of June. The drawing will take place July 5, 2012 and be announced in the weekly update.
This is a brand-new program, and based upon feedback we receive, we may be expanding it. Please let us know what you think.

| We need some assistance! | |
The summer months tend to be especially lean for fundraising, and we are hard at work trying to find creative ways to raise much needed funds in this environment.
Here are some ways you can help, if you can't write a check yourself:
- Do you know any Foundations you can recommend to us?
- Do you know anyone who would be willing to put our org in their will?
- Do you work for a company that does planned giving, such as payroll deductions?
- Want to give monthly automatically? We can handle that!
- Want to donate a car, boat or airplane? We can handle that too!
Any leads are greatly appreciated! Please call the office at (352) 326-0761 x1500 | |
